The MATLAB language may be pretty bad but IMO that's not what makes MATLAB good. Rather it's:
Every signal processing / maths function is available and well documented. I don't know how well Julia does on this but I know I wouldn't want to use Python for the kinds of things I used MATLAB for (medical imaging). You don't have to faff with pip to get a hilbert transform or whatever...
The plotting functionality is top notch. You can easily plot millions of points and it's fast and responsive. Loads of plotting options. I just haven't found anything that comes close. Every other option I've tried (a lot) only works for small datasets.
@FizzyOrange The problem with Python for signal processing and stuff like that is not pip (I know it's a meme by now, but it's really not that bad) but rather, the fact that some SciPy subpackages are barely maintained
