Depends on the person, there's probably many people who prefer the general theoretical aspects too

I second this. Moreover, a lot of people do implementation, whereas very few (if any) go over the theory.

Initially my idea was to just make purely theoretical videos. But I think that in some topics (where there is a clear algorithm for example) it might be helpful to show some Python implementation. Even in that case, I prefer the video overall to be more math focused. So going forward, I will add code if it seems necessary to complete the explanation. For example, in causality, the concept of avg. treatment effects can be explained through theory, but a concrete Python example will make it much clear for anyone watching what exactly is happening.

I saw a debate, I think on Stack Exchange, about why people use pseudocode.

In a situation like this, good pseudocode is much better than Python, probably. It lasts forever, is applicable to all languages, and anyone can read it if it's well written.
