Super is using the installinstallmacos.py script which I have also used previously and this obviously requires Python. Super makes sure that all the bits it needs are available.
However Super also seems itself to use Python to retrieve a Jamf API token and this is not I believe necessary. I myself try and avoid using Python in shell scripts so as to avoid a dependency on a Python being installed since this is no longer included as standard.
As installinstallmacos.py does need Python and Super can re-use the same Python this in this case is perhaps a pedantic issue but it should be possible to modify line 2961 of Super so as to not require using Python.
I believe this approach was used to make it work on older macOS versions but the following may be an alternative non-python solution.
