That's because you're doing web stuff. (I/O limited). So much of our computing experience has been degraded due to this mindset applied more broadly. Despite a steady improvement in hardware, my computing experiences have been stagnating and degraded in terms of latency, responsiveness etc.

I'm not going to even go into the comp chem simulations I've been running, or that about 1/3 the stuff I do is embedded.

I do still use python for web dev, partly because as you say, it's not CPU-bound, and partly because Python's Django framework is amazing. But I have switched to rust for everything else.
