What are the advantages of using LabView for test automatisation?

In the company I work it is company policy to implement all test automatisation in LabView. Since our programmers are usually too busy to create applications for my tests, I have to do it. Since I know python, I created applications in python but I got reprimended for it. I tried doing it in LabView, but I couldnt not really see any advantage of using LabView over python. Its so easy nowadays with AI to create GUIs with zero knowledge of PyQt, there is a VISA library for connecting with instruments, version control is super easy with Git or SVN, and its very easy to install and make it run. Also its free

So I wanted to ask what advantages are there that can convince me to learn LabView?
