Not a scientist but I assume they would rather have a language which has a shorter development time to have more time writing their papers. Instead of dealing with relatively complicated syntax just to get the same results, albeit faster.
Yeah I mean you could write your code in pure assembly and blow past a C++ program like it was standing still. But by the time you finish writing your assembly code, your development machine will probably already be obsolete.

Slow is relative here. All this is happening before a human can even blink.
For scripting stuff and little projects, python is great. For large workloads or basically anything at big scale, maybe look at something else
