I think LLMs are just better at Python and JS than other languages, probably because that's what they're more extensively trained on.

Depends on what one defines as a criteria for "better". Getting something to run and work, or actually writing good, readable, mostly self-explanatory, maintainable, easily testable, parallelizable, code.
