It is theoretically possible to support Conan in Gradle without any changes to its core. I have been experimenting on and off to demonstrate the support and add it as a feature to Nokee. You can follow the project on GitHub to stay up-to-date (https://github.com/nokeedev/gradle-native).
I agree with you that having a build system as a library would be a lot more flexible allowing users to cherry-pick the feature they need in the language they are most comfortable with. In a sense, Gradle is somewhat a step in that direction. The unfortunate downside for native developers is the DSL language choice which is confined to JVM languages only, e.g. Groovy and Kotlin. However, being a native developer, Groovy is a great middle-ground. Syntax-wise it's close to C/C++ while allowing dynamic typing like Python. Regardless, it would be possible to add a Python DSL to Gradle, for example POM DSL or JavaScript DSL. Note the example are more on the humour side of things but the main point is the flexibility of Gradle regarding its scripting languages which are just "normal" language.
