Right, but that's people for you. If you watch the announcement video 
Guido specifically says that other languages will be supported and 
Python is merely the first. That decision wasn't Guido's, either.

But people will always prefer complaining on the grounds of insufficient 
information to keeping quiet on the basis of knowledge.
