I'm personally not interested in MicroPython either, but...
> the resulting solutions need an order of magnitude more resources to accomplish the same tasks when compared to writing an equivalent system in C.
I mean, yeah... but that's true when you're writing Python code on a normal computer as well. It's not really an argument against writing Python except in cases where you're actually running into resource constraints.
If you can get the resources you need in a microcontroller you can afford, and you prefer programming in Python... why not?
