The last couple of CPython versions have had dramatic speed improvements, so that demonstrates your point but also gives some hope that things are changing on that front.

Dramatic? Barely. Even less than half of the non-dramatic speed improvements they promised. The promise was like "5 times faster in the next 4 releases", and the improvements in 2 releases thus far was like 20% at best (so not even 2x faster).
Compared to JS pre-and-after modern engines it's a tiny improvement.
