Web testing is also done in python. Selenium has support in all major Python test frameworks. I've done SE-only tests in Robot, hybrid SE/Python using BDD with Behave, etc.

Unless I'm testing a language-specific API, I'm probably going to use Python...

I'm guessing that's because you're a python developer though. If you're a frontend developer who knows JS then why wouldn't you use that for your tests? (Apart from the fact that JS is horrible, but you've already accepted that suffering by becoming a web dev)

I'm a test automation developer, I'm not necessarily bound by the platform that the application is written in unless I'm writing white-box tests.
