Why Python? First, python is a language with a large open-source library. Second, I do not think it is used for software that is distributed as binaries?

Closed-source python exists, and it is frequently distributed in compiled binaries (especially in mediocre malware).

As a (supposedly) non-malicious example, the "Nightshade" watermarking tool is distributed as closed-source pre-compiled Python https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html
