Are python debuggers really unable to integrate with something like GDB? I have no problem debugging native calls from Java. During development I've never seen a case where library source was unavailable. Even proprietary components from other companies come with source included.

GDB on its own does a reasonable job debugging python: https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb

I feel it’s less about instrumentation but more about Python developers understanding C code.

No, as a "fluent C speaker", the instrumentation part is much harder than understanding the C code.
