Because we need a more powerful scripting language than shell or batch files for many things. Many of the scripts in question were started by me and I use Perl. I will not write in another language. Some others are so old that they predate Python's very existence. If someone wants to take over and write in CMake or in C++, be my guest. That's what Alexey did for the syncqt.pl script that predated even me. As far as I know, that removed the dependency on Perl to compile Qt or to contribute.
