"It depends", as always :)
Some people may do it because it's more approachable to them (and/or others). Others may have language models/runtimes that align closely with the target language. Or they may want to "stand on the shoulders of giants", benefiting from the higher-level optimizations of the target language. Also, for example, LLVM still doesn't target as many architectures as gcc (though I'm not saying that's necessarily very relevant for most users).
That's just what comes to mind. I can't say for certain anything about this particular language though!
