Speaking for engineering part of users of matlab, its more used because there is no bother for installing and setting up packages for engineering use, good part comes preinstalled. I like python concept more, being free and everything that comes with it, but most of engineering stuff is made with matlab so students use it because they have literature for it and for specific problem they need to solve, so you get the idea why they stick with matlab although that is being changed in time.
