I wish tools like CMake and Bazel simply used Lua, Python or JavaScript for their configuration instead of making their own languages with numerous quirks. There's literally no benefit of doing that.

Bazel uses Starlark, which is pretty much a deterministic subset of Python. Using Python directly would not be a good idea.
