I think it's silly to be as reductive as just "Python is overrated", but to entertain that idea: Yeah, I think in some ways Python is overrated.
I see Python held up on a pedestal for some of its data/academic use cases, or just as the only language to do certain type of work in — but in my experience I can find a library for most of the cool data stuff in any other popular language and I have never felt the need to get into Python deliberately for this purpose.
Python is a much loved programming language for a lot of reasons, but I have definitely met some people who overrate it for one reason or another.
All that being said, saying "I hate Python, it's overrated" is just a personal stance which is fine to have, but doesn't need to be taken very seriously. A lot of people would say that about JavaScript, and they're not wrong, but they're also only right on their own terms.
Agreed, I think it's over-rated because it's the default choice for too many things and increasingly so. It's the lazy "no-risk/no-reward", choice for too many things, where , yes things are doable and people know it, from data-science to backend plumbing, but rarely the best choice.

Thoughtful comment ...
Absolutely 100% I agree with those words
