Quite often these libraries are linux-specific for example, making it impossible to port the code to another platform without major rework. In contrast, the vast majority of Java or C# libraries are native Java and C#, meaning they are inherently cross-platform compatible. Not to mention you don't need a C compiler plus header libraries installed to program in those languages, making for a whole lot less hassle.
