One of the reasons it was originally written for scheme is that scheme has a small core, simple syntax and can very easily be learned while reading SICP.
More importantly, the type of user that would get put off by using/learning scheme, is probably not going to make it through SICP. Learning just enough scheme is arguably the easiest part of going through SICP.
