I guess the reasons are that I feel (no data to back this up) that having a Python runtime available is much more probable than having a nodejs runtime around.

I was going to say you cannot easily distribute a nodejs based CLI app, but that’s of course not true. devcontainer-cli is a nodejs app and so are many of the coding agent harnesses.

Yeah, thanks for pushing back. I guess my view was irrational.
