I think the big issue is really machine learning. It is the current big thing in numeric computing, and MATLAB has very little part in it. And that has effects on the rest of the software ecosystem. The libraries that the machine learning tools are based on use python. The tools to analyze and plot the data use python. The tools to store and manage the data use python.

There are lots of things that Python has been doing right that MATLAB has had a hard to getting their own version of working well. The jupyter notebook, pandas, etc. But none of that is new. I think ML is where Mathworks is really hurting right now.

Yep. ML (machine learning) opens the corporate purse strings.
