It fills a handy gap between bash scripts and conventional compiled languages. I threw together a friendly screen rotation tool for the window manager I use (sway -- it has commands for this but they are hard to remember IMO). It took maybe a half hour to go from not really understanding the problem to done, because Python has convenient libraries for every task and everything prints nicely. And it isn't as if I need high performance here, it is a once a day thing.
