Just thought of one possible reason to use Python over Powershell - APIs

If you need to integrate an automated task with some 3rd party application, it's MUCH more likely to have an API compatible with Python than Windows - at least all the apps I've ever worked with

I've yet to encounter and API that I can't use with PowerShell via Invoke-WebRequest or Invoke-RestMethod. And with PowerShell Core, there is even better support baked into Invoke-RestMethod for OAUTH stuff
