Python is needlessly expensive.  There does not exist only GDB, there exist
other smaller tools examining external programs which can for example run on
embedded targets.

Python also has various compatibility issues, I doubt it is compatible with
every platform GDB and other debugging tools are compatible with.

Why not to use DWARF expression code?
