Software bloat is part of it. The other part is that we just continue to use slow languages. Using python in production for large servers should be illegal due to wasted power.

Why? Most servers are network bound, not CPU bound.

Do you have any sources that modern servers which host dozen and maybe even hundreds of virtual machines are network bound? That doesn't seem logical at all.
