I assume because what it does is complex and no one had the time to rewrite
and maintain.

Installing python has never been a problem on most *nix. Since Windows
doesn't have an official package manager you have to download it. If you
are a software developer you probably have python 2.7 installed.

Something that has been discussed over and over without any agreement, IMHO
you shouldn't build your dependencies on production. We pre-built our deps
in CI(which match the target distribution and arch)  before running tests
and we send the pkg ready to run.
