A comment on The Idea of Lisp. Parent comment
Python is much more popular in general, which makes it more likely to be popular in any specific subfield, for various reasons:
1. More chance that people who decide to do anything in ML already use Python.
2. There's better existing support for various ML-related tasks in Python.
3. There's a larger audience available for ML-related things in Python, therefore people think it's more worthwhile to code things in it.
etc.
