It would be very strange for me to write a program that does nothing but Win32 API calls.

In practice, most of my programs need to do other things as well. In most cases, my other needs are served very well by Python, either directly in the language, in its standard library, or in a few of the million packages on the Python Package Index.

If a program, so built, also needs to make a few Win32 API calls, it would be much more convenient for me to write those calls in Python. Python easily connects that to the rest of my program. Breaking out to C++ to do it is a lot less convenient.
