All the code of this project is in Python, so who cares about what it is using under the surface?

With that reasoning, you're actually comparing machine code to machine code. Why even compare the performance of any languages at this point, since you're comparing machine code to machine code in the end?

Because this can be considered a special case, where the required critical logic is available as a library, which is not something that can be assumed as a general case in product development.
