Sure they have python, but which version of python do they have? 2? 3? 3.5? 3.7?
Arguably writing command line tools in Node.js has similar problems (8? 10? 12? 12.9?) though it has the advantage that not having a baked in version into your OS distribution means you have to install one yourself (which hopefully will match).
I think Go is a better choice for this type of thing as the end result is a copy-and-run-anywhere staticly linked binary.
