I think these are both examples that help prove my point. Neither of these tools benefit the user by being in Python and distributing a runtime just for a CLI tool.

Yeah, and they're terrible. If anything they're a prime example of what 100% should be written in a compiled language.
Raise your hand if you have been personally traumatized by the miniature standalone py3 distribution bundled within the aws cli.
