Some organization's policies prohibits the installation other interpreters. Not because they're different interpreters; the policy is only the bare absolute minimum for that specific server to accomplish that role gets installed. Reasoning being that the more software you stuff into any server, the more chances that something that isn't supposed to be there has to get into the software supply chain.

So if Powershell (which is inbuilt in Windows) can do everything that python does, even if it's harder and clunkier to work with, guess what you're stuck with.
