Fellow 20+ years Python user here.
Python adoption outside first world countries have always lagged considerably behind. A common pattern among technologies.
I suspect a lot of that growth is the rest of the world catching up.

Python's rising popularity among the scientific computing community is simply not enough to support the idea of a dramatic increase in Python adoption. As a long-time user of the language I share your appreciation Python usage in the industry has not dramatically increased in the past few years.
On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence suggesting Python is becoming increasingly popular outside high income countries.
