If Python was merely twice as slow then I could agree with you.

Not all code needs to process terabytes of data.

I have code running that reads ~20 bytes, checks the internal status on an hashmap and flips a bit.

Would it be faster in C? Of course.

Would it have taken me much longer to write to achieve absolutely no benefit? Yes.
