I'd also say because of its price (especially vs MATLAB and Mathematica) and the huge ecosystem of libraries for basically every scientific domain.

  Those libs likely only exist because of how easy python is to learn. So, snake tail situation maybe.

    Well, a lot of those libraries are C libraries that have Python bindings.

    I haven’t used matlab for 10+ years, but back then Matlab used to provide engineering packages for vibrations and non-linear models approximations, I’d imagine the effort of going Python/ open source code to just to redefine your model for both purposes and then validate and verify the results would be a 10-50 fold cost of paying for a license
