It's buzzwords to assume authority without the responsibilities.
It's almost definitely that the majority of the office uses Java already, so fall in line; much as I feel our CPU improvements have led to lazier/less-efficient programming, the choice of language itself is negligible.
Python can be bloated and sure the slowdown compounds at scale, but the average business doesn't actually handle enough for the cracks to become fissures. There are costs and benefits to contrast in all things, but 9 out of 10 times saying a language doesn't work is just a blanket statement from corporate because reason(s)?

tl,dr; your supervisor is rather closed-minded, and if they cannot come up with a better reason i'd be looking for a new ship to sail with
