Because it allows lower level control to use libraries like requests,
urllib3, pycurl, and in some cases project-specific libs rather than
a shell script runnning a client where the code could change a lot
from one version to another.

There's also the positive side of lots of libraries available for
Python, and better detection to avoid issues than shell scripts or C
where you would need external tools to detect them.
