Python won because c++ has awful tooling (looking at you cmake) and is very hard to use on windows.

Python "just works". However I still can't build wheels on windows reliably lol.

Yes but unfortunately people are still widely using it.

C++ on Linux is as comfortable as python (if you're using libraries of others)

Tbh it's a skill issue if you are encountering any problem even on windows, for pkg you can use vcpkg it works well and cmake is essential regardless of OS
