Technically, I would expect that the majority of the
code could have be written in any almost any
language, but the existing V1 ttvdb API code is
python, and I would presume the people working
on the upgrade decided to stay in what already
(mostly) works.

There was a "call to action" email that went out asking
for volunteers, and you likely should have raised your
hand then to offer your (pure?) Qt code variant.  Have
you compared your Qt code version with the output
of the python code version?
