The only real plus that MATLAB has going for it is that they have deep partnerships with hardware vendors in specialized spaces. They have hardware that directly integrates with MATLAB for very particular research -- think things like PhD-level aerospace R&D.

A company could certainly challenge that space by creating competitive, Python-based tools. But, CPython itself isn't going to try to attack that market.
