That's not exactly your point... "they chose python" and that's it. Don't know how you draw that conclusion, this one is easier: when you have 10 developers that know python, you choose python.
I don’t know what you understood from my comment, but, I was explicitly speaking about many people who tend to go with rust/any other fad of the day for things that really don’t need them, just to be optimised from day one, despite their shop being a Python/Ruby/Php primary.
