I don't mind at all if teams use unique languages like Python, but if they start taking away resources from me because Python is not supported by many FRC Suppliers, then we have a problem.

Python isn't officially supported, so I doubt they would require a supplier to support Python. If they were to make such a requirement, it would probably only affect the officially supported languages: C++, Java, and LabVIEW.

It seems like such a requirement wouldn't be necessary -- there are a significant portion of teams using each language, so not supporting one of them would be leaving money on the table.
