Because you're giving stuff to mechanical engineers, and they don't have a Javascript engine or a Python interpreter installed.

And I guess they have to have a bash-compatible shell installed, but their architecture isn't definitely x86_64?

And you're right, Python or JS can work better than bash for automatic builds. It's kind of like knowing assembly or HTML. If you know a few really basic things, it can be really useful in a few select cases, but most of the time there may be better tools. And if you're like me, you also just get a kick out of playing with low level stuff.
