plpgsql is more close to postgres then plPython or plPerl, and after all is nearest SQL then plPtyhton or plPerl so a DBA find it more confortable then others languages.
DBA probably... programmer? Doubtful. The majority of people that I run into that are using PostgreSQL are not DBA's. They are programmers trying to do it a better way. Providing plPerl or plPython etc... allows them to stay in a native and productive environment.
