lots of CLIs are written in Python, absolutely, but many started more recently are almost exclusively Go unless there is serious interest in using Rust. It's almost certainly the ease of cross compilation plus the ability for users to run it without changes to their system.

Instead of having to mess with virtual environments and keeping them updated (they tend to break every time you upgrade the system python version).
