I mean by useless is it's so slow you can't make games or even big projects for GUI, only you can do is AI/ML, Data Science, and basic stuff. I think Rust is better because of its speed and language capabilities?

"Python’s strength is ease of development"
That's what I usually see with Python. I think that's the reason people should choose it.
"Performance isn’t a big concern if you just want to quickly develop the app you want."
You're correct with that, but if your project is to make a touch screen app for fast food restaurant, now you're wrong because of Python's performance.
Python is very much "good enough" for that kind of environment. The touch screen drivers on the other hand, yes, should probably be rust/c.
Yeah, I've heard C is used for this kind of stuff, maybe also rust.
