You’re talking about that it uses platform specific APIs. You can use these APIs from Python, and then there is all the logic which decides how to use the APIs and that can be in Python as well.

You can do it hand-written assembly too, but usually it's more trouble than it's worth.

I think what we've worked out what you mean is just that if you were doing it you'd chose to do it in Objective C etc. That's not quite the same as anyone else 'should' do it.
