I presume by "we" you mean "the core"? There's nothing to stop 3rd party code using COM APIs.

The only downside to using COM in (user) Python code at the moment is the need for a dependency on pywin32 (robust, mature, but a big dependency) or comtypes (relatively lightweight, but less mature/well used). Hardly a huge burden.
