Probably because it is a convenient programming language that is well

Also true.

HTML and batch files are interpretive languages and are inefficient in
their use of memory. But they work well for small jobs.
Some versions of BASIC can be compiled into tight and efficient code,
but it is often not as convenient as other languages that are written
specifically for compiling.
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
