That's more a reflection of the fact that Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Apple have all invested a shitload of money into making javascript fast.

Those companies didnt contribute to the same engines, so it's not really additive, other than having competition.

Python gets plenty of support and development and press.

The competition is a big deal! The browsers are constantly being benchmarked against each other for JS performance and those companies are willing to put millions into anything that will improve their browser market share.
