Python for backend

Is python a good choice if I want to get a job as backend dev?
I already learn how to create some api projects with Django and FastAPI, Celery, Redis and SQL, but I always keep hearing that python is only good for DS/ML stuff and it would be better to pick other languages or stacks for backend.
So I would appreciate any answer how the situation really looks in the real world.

Python is kinda new to the backend world. It is used but not as much as java springboot

LOL, Django is probably older than you.

Maybe yeah, sorry for that. But still, a good choice for backend is still Java Springboot, cuz of its market share

I'm not disputing that, Java and C# are required in most enterprise backend jobs out there.
