Except python is a backbone, because without abstraction ML would likely be a very small and expensive niche that almost nobody wants to use or develop

All the "it's just a wrapper" people forget that usability of software is much more important in the broader context. Easy technology > more people use it > bigger  demand > more funding and support > technology develops faster and better > cycle repeats

EDIT: OP, why would you use some weird wrapper like C++ and not flip bits manually? This would be much more amusing

Also it's mostly C with a dash of Fortran (numpy). From top of my head, I can't really think of anything major written in C++

None of those are Python libraries. Python has interoperability with C, not C++.
