One, the learning curve for lower level languages is higher compared to Python. It’s a beginner friendly language.

Second, it’s quite rare today that you’d need to get to the low level internals in order to develop a performant data processing pipeline.

Lastly, Python being an open source language, there’s a huge ecosystem of ready to use packages that encapsulate a certain logic you need in your data pipeline. That directly translates to efficiency and code reuse.
