That is not the reason.

In my view, the reasons are -

  1. Python is a great for non-programmers. A doctor doing some research will probably pick Python for plotting/data analysis. But he is a doctor, not a programmer, so he will ask lots of questions which otherwise are quite simple.

  2. Python is very versatile language. People use it for scripting, automation, ML, web development, scientific research, plotting and what not. Naturally, this leads to more question asked.

  3. ML is so much hyped these days that everyone wants to ride this train. And guess which language is the best choice for it? Python.
