Yup but you're skilled enough to write--and more importantly, maintain--the required C/C++ code. Most devs and companies we talk to just want to make something people want; they don't care for the added complexity of writing and maintaining native code.
The way I like to think about this is how much more code got written when "high level" languages like C came onto the scene, at a time when Assembly was the default. Writing Python is way (way way) easier and faster than any of the lower-level languages--no pointers, no borrow checker!
