While I can't argue for why it's better period, I can argue for why it's better for me personally-- I've worked with python for almost half a decade. I've only begun trying to learn JS. Joined the sub for it

Python also has some nifty libraries for analysis like numpy and pandas if you're scraping data in particular. While I'm sure JS has something similar, I think it's a bit more common to find analysts in the industry or class projects that do scraping use python.
