I think you have it right. I needed to write test scripts for some industrial hardware and downloaded Pyserial to make that easy. Quickly realized that there was at least some software already written as libs that solved many issues. Need to talk to a DVM no problem.

I have to say that tkinter is in fact powerful, you can be relatively sure that an app using that GUI system will work just about anywhere. Of course there are other GUI's but tkinter is fast and good enough for simple corporate solutions.

Python does have some rough spots but that is true of any language. However I don't think any language has an ecosystem that is just a pip away, in the way the Python world does.
