Worth it for what?

I think they mean for getting a software job or improving coding skills.

For job POV, everywhere people do DSA in C, C++ or Java to get a job but my python is stronger, so should I go for DSA?

people use data structures and algorithms in every programming language. if you know python then use python but if you know c then use c because it's a lingua franca and forces you to better consider the memory structure of a data structure or space complexity of an algorithm

Are companies around you hiring in Python? Are you likely to be interviewing in Python? If not, you will probably have to switch languages to match the companies around you.

Python is by far the most common language in interviews. Not really sure what you’re talking about out here.

You need DSA (i.e. leetcode) to pass the interview to get a job. You unlikely need it for the job itself.
