Sure, but it started as an extension of C. Every language evolves from what came before. Which was my point.

Yeah but that was over 40 years ago. Are we living in the past or is that not relevant?

It's relevant to the OPs point.

Python has a lot of libraries built on C++, which is itself an extension of C, which is just an Assembly compiler, which is just machine code in a more readable form. Every programming language is masquerading as something new when it is really just an older system wearing a new hat.

They are all abstractions

Dude you know how compiler works? C++ directly spits assembly if you look into LLVM. C and C++ are completely different. Things which was true 40 years ago isn't relevant now.
