That massive chip on your shoulder is weighing you down.
If you really think something like that is happening (big if - I’ve gone through so many py3 flames...), the only answer is: because people love the language SO DAMN MUCH that they will overlook its warts. And the next logical step would be to find out how an independent research project, staffed mostly by volunteers and without a marketing budget of any sort (and not running in every browser nor shipping preinstalled on the most popular operating system), ended up with this sort of mindshare.

There might be some good lessons there.
