why python, why not a system programming language like C, OCaml or Go (or newer languages like zig or odin)
Are web browsers, not considered to be "system software"

I think the point is to demonstrate how things work and are designed, and python is easy for everyone to understand. I don't think the author is recommending trying to write a production web browser in python. (or probably at all ;)
