Jackie,

Please, next time consider putting 100-characters long question into
message body instead of subject field :-)

Answering your question, I'm not sure but I suppose the reason is that
initially there wasn't any plan to add bindings to other languages.
Originally, native C++ API and .NET wrapper was planned.
Later on, Python bindings was introduced and based on SWIG but it would
make very little sense to rewrite existing .NET wrapper to SWIG.

Best regards,
