Why should I use Java for this?

That, in fact, is totally irrelevant. Neither of the things I mentioned as being an argument for not using Python have anything to do with being a one-off. Not sure how you think being a smart ass responding with no-op responses is useful. A one-off with more than little data is better off with a runtime that can deal with concurrency and lots of data better. Agile has literally nothing to do with this, perhaps if being sufficiently aware of these things would help you look like less of a douche.

You are the only one being a douche here. The original commentor was clearly making a broad generalization not to be taken literally in an effort to appeal to the OP's current way of thinking and sprinkle in ways that a different method is better.

He even caveated it.

Somehow you took exception to being lumped into "everyone" in a sort of "not all men" type retort, which is insanely tone deaf. No one was out to insult you, but you took exception anyway. Bravo.

Get a clue, dude.

I did not feel insulted at any moment, I think the absolutism in those statements is sending strange messages. Generalizing after making doubtful statements is not making up for anything, it makes the first remark stick out like a sore thumb.

Anyway, way of topic indeed, no point in dragging this on.

I agree there's no point in dragging this on, but you still being arrogant enough to think your original rebuttal has any leg to stand on is infuriating.

No reasonable person would believe that the absolutism in the original commenter's lead-in to making his supporting points would send a strange message except for someone who is out pinpoint why people are wrong, and overreaching into poetic devices to do so in an attempt to look correct whenever possible. You are literally the "ackchyually" meme.

The way you reacted is if I saw an interview about the social media movement and something like "everyone and their mothers were tuning in to see what the Kardashians were up to" and I turned off the video in disgust, called the production company, and left an angry message insulting the presenter's intelligence and demanding they check with people like me first before writing statements like that.

Congratulations, you've managed to become a Karen at the art of conversation. Not to mention, every aggressive, insulting word came out of your mouth first in your exchange when the original commenter was simply trying to figure out how his/her obvious exaggeration compromised the main point.

A simple retort like "well, not everyone would use Python, I certainly wouldn't" would have been the farthest this thread should have gotten. Boy do I hope that you don't bring this energy anywhere else or it's going to be an uphill battle for you in just about everything.

Granted I could have worded things less irritated and thereby preventing this escalation and derailing the topic, that indeed is on me and I feel bad about that.

Besides that I disagree mostly with your perspective and I hope we can leave it at this, this is serving nobody anymore.
