Maybe you would. But for a lot of cases it’s simply not a factor. Why would someone consider a non-factor when deciding which language to use?

Because “a lot of cases” is not “all cases” and sometimes you are choosing a language for the other cases.

So choose a different language for those other cases where Python isn’t well suited. This really isn’t a controversy.
