Note that the original python implementation is still in the repository and is used for framework builds on macOS because of the hardcoded values in the shell script variant. On macOS the sysconfig values for compiler related settings (CC, CFLAGS, …) are adjusted dynamically to account for different compilers and system versions. IIRC the shell script variant was introduced to support some cross compilation scenario’s (see https://bugs.python.org/issue16235 <https://bugs.python.org/issue16235>).
