I don't think you're missing anything. I think you are correct, the perceived impact is greater than the actual. The reason we don't run into python written in other languages more often is because most people have a language preference set when they do internet searches. Not that all programs are written using only English. As more people use python it becomes less (not more) of a need to read and understand *everyone* else's programs as there is most likely already what you need, or something close to it, in your own language. I believe the walls are not solid or one way. Good programs written in other languages most likely get translated to English at some point if they are freely distributed.
