I was wondering this too. A jupyter notebook runs a single language kernel (python, julia, whatever), and that is a feature not a bug. You can have a global state, function definitions, etc, not just piping outputs to inputs. I see that babel has "session-based evaluation" for Python and some other languages which presumably allows the same thing.
The other thing is that emacs org-mode may be very useful to some people but will never take over the world: it's just too non-standard and non-intuitive if you haven't already lived much of your life inside emacs. (I use emacs but purely as a code editor. Most people younger than me don't use emacs.) Jupyter has arguably already taken over from proprietary platforms like mathematica and matlab. That's a win. Cf Economics Nobel laureate Paul Romer's article from 2018.
