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?

Oh no? Someone should probably tell the people who made Eve Online.
they don't run the standard Python. because its unusably slow. Your examples proves the counterpoint
No. They chose a nonstandard Python because they wanted to use coroutines before standard Python had coroutines.

And plenty more games are mainly or partially using python like Civ 4, DDLC, World of Tanks or Guild Wars
