But you can do the same with Python. Once you have appropriately
wrapped the relevant APIs, it's easy from then on. I would argue that
it is easier to use well-wrapped functionality in Python than
well-wrapped functionality in RPG, and Python's advantage grows the
more complex and dynamic the functionality.

I just don't understand this statement. If I wrap the User Space pointer retrieval in a subproc then once that procedure has been called all subsequent access to data in the space is indistinguishable from accessing any other data within the program. How can it get any easier than that?
