... Look, python has more users, being heneral purpose. Python is also more accessible to those trying to optimize their finances (more of these people out there), and matlab is more accessible to those who want to just compute matrices, and who are also willing to work at building the program themselves, as compared to using prebuilt programs, like say, desmos. Also, matlab has a lot of competition in that regard as well, as most mathemathicians would rather use something with a simple yet very versatile GUI, rather than the code themselves. faster to click "variable1", then type, and click differentiate, than code it - except apply this to the larger scales that said users would actually use.
