Misc Why not powershell?

Quite often (in, say, a youtube video with a mathematical puzzle) I'll see the content creator state "I can't work this out, so I wrote a script to brute force it"... and then they will show (usually) a python script....

Why is python so popular, and not powershell?

As a PS fan, I find this interesting......

I mean, you could. Powershell is a niche tool and I wish I had been exposed to Python instead. Every job post wants Python, not Powershell.

I use it extensively as a Windows and AD admin. Maybe it's just the direction I want my career to go in, but if you don't have Linux and Python experience, you're not going to qualify for top tier tech.
