Because the use of Java/JDBC dwarfs both of your examples combined. Don't get me wrong, I love Python (everyone knows this) but in terms of where the work is being done it is still in Java for the most part, by far.
I was talking about better targeting a new userbase, and I think that one is quite a bit larger than the current PostgreSQL+JDBC one. I just don't see any value in feeding them any Java inspired cruft. As for total size, Peter's comment mentioned having >250,000 installations using URIs already. While they support other platforms now, I suspect the majority of those are still running Heroku's original Ruby product offering. The first link I pointed at was one of the Ruby URI examples.
While I do still have more Java-based customers here, there's enough Rails ones mixed in that I wouldn't say JDBC dwarfs them anymore even even for me. As for the rest of the world, I direct you toward https://github.com/erh/mongo-jdbc as a sign of the times. "experimental" because there's not much demand for JDBC in web app land anymore.
