You CAN handle it, but why should you have to? If it's possible to remove that barrier, then it absolutely should be removed. If the only answer to a problem is "use another language", then the language in question has a limitation that needs to be addressed.

It is not a limitation at all in this case. Python is just a front to Tensorflow and similar libraries/frameworks so GIL doesn't matter there.
