I tried to statically link DuckDB to one of my C++ project earlier this year and it took me 3 days to have something working on Windows/Linux/MacOS (just to be able to use the dependency)
While I'm not a C++ expert, doing the same in Python is just one pip install away, so yeah both "richness" and "ease of use" of the ecosystem matters

You made my point for me: DuckDB is already in C++ (so C++ is rich enough), but hard to glue with other pieces, and you don't want to put in that effort, so you use Python.
