Fedora 39 Looks To Use DNF5 By Default For Better Performance & Improved User Experience
I'm not sure, I'm not a dnf developer. It was implemented in C++, so it would probably have to be done differently in version 4. I belive dnf development is focused on version 5 right now, so adding features to version 4 is probably not a high priority. It would be nice to see it in version 4 so it could be added to current versions of RHEL and Fedora, but time is a finite resource. Perhaps you could implement and send a pull request, or at least file a bug to discuss it upstream?

What do you think of DNF?
dnf uses python only for command line functionality. Its core part, libdnf, is written in C++. However yes, dnf in my experience is still significantly slower than apt and pacman.

Python finally offloads some batteries
Lots of people use python apps and not know about it. I don't get where the idea that it's complicated comes from. You run them the same way as everything else. For example if you use anything redhat-based you're running a python app (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf). If you're running any desktop environment, you're likely using at least one python app or something with python scripting embedded.
