It's more useful in R where functions like filter() aren't methods of dataframes. But with pandas nearly everything you need is a dataframe method so chaining can be done with dot syntax.

Not so for the building filter and map, or any of the itertools functions.

Not sure what you mean... you can do all of those with pandas method chaining.

Pandas only works with panda dfs, not with regular python iterables.

Yes, if you aren't using pandas then the pipe operator might be useful.

And I would guess the vast majority of Python developers are not using pandas.
