Isn't it rather the opposite? If something requires Python it's at the
mercy of the availability of Python and the ability of Vim to make use
of the available Python if the language is installed, while something
in native Vim will run anywhere.
I remain unconvinced of the utility of the additional languages for
anything other than personal use. Even when they are available the
linking may require a particular version, and that version may not be
the same as the version needed by other applications.
I can't remember the last time I saw a machine with Python installed
in a generally available form, and that machine only had it because
I put it there. (I've seen a few with it installed privately for one
specific application, but that's not terribly useful.) It's far from
ubiquitous, and very few people are going to go to the trouble of
installing a new language just to use a plugin.
