One of the reasons is the fact that they're written in C++ and not C, therefor difficult to wrap natively by host languages.

At least, that's my main gripe as someone who doesn't want to touch C++.

So if they were C, then one would be able to bridge almost "toll-free" with Swift/Objective-C on the Mac, for example.
