Are you suggesting that we ignore the article's data-driven conclusion that it is because of pandas and the rise of data science and machine learning?

No they're explaining why Pandas was written in Python and why data science and machine learning projects choose Python over R or Java or Haskell, etc.

I think you're reading the article wrong—pandas is a symptom, not a cause.

That said, it seems foolish to ignore the clear data science use case. But that's also been a theme for at least five years now.
