Guix pull needs “guile-git”, and “guile-git” needs “libgit2”, which
needs “python-wrapper”.  To remove the need for Python in “guix pull” we
would need to build libgit2 without Python.  I don’t know if anyone has
investigated whether this can be done.

This is likely due to grafts.  When you do “guix pull --no-grafts -n”
the behaviour is as expected.
