Lots of schools / boot camps / etc churning out people who "know python" but are not "python devs". Think - data scientists / data analysts / stats / business analysts / etc.. who need to monkey around in some data, and are like slightly more than an Excel power user.

On the other hand, no one is doing the same for Bash.

You are using Bash because you know how to program something else and need to schedule it / wrap it in a shell script / etc. The fact that someone even knows Bash exists is a filter. Having an idea of where you might need to use it, a second filter. And having successfully done so, a third filter.
