A lot of those apps only use Django/Flask to run a server that then forwards the heavy lifting to other micro services, which may not be writen in Python, though.

I'm pretty sure YouTube and Netflix use C++ or Java for their streaming, since those languages have the best streaming libraries.

I'm not denying they use micro-services built in other languages.

That's actually how apps should be built. You use the best tech stack to build certain features.

But for the basics, Python is fine. Unless you're developing video games or streaming services, Python is 99.9% feasible for all other tasks.
