I don't see why bash would be used at all here. If you want something that doesn't need another interpreter, then just compile a binary.
Possible use case: scripts that are found in a codebase for doing... Codebase things. Like setting up dev environment for example.
But then building it still requires whatever scripting tool you use. Including the bash-ified version would not for practice, as it wouldn't be very human readable and would have to be kept in sync with the source script. It's much cleaner and simpler to just require python for your build environment.
look into devenv.sh for that constrained use-case
That's a use case for Docker
