    Most environments don't have an implementation for it yet
The speed with which environments actually got implementations of previous secure algorithms was half the problem with their use, but I think Argon2 has this nailed. The README now links bindings for Go, Haskell, JavaScript, JVM, Lua, OCaml, Python, Ruby and Rust.

Disclaimer: I wrote the Ruby one.

I don't trust them. The various language bindings are maintained by random people who have gone through no particular vetting, and their code is not formally reviewed by anyone.

When I started looking through the node bindings, I found a number of minor bugs and a critical issue that left ~1% of passwords vulnerable.

I trust that the C developers do a good job, but phc-winner-argon2 does not appear to have ever made a formal release. Is master really always perfect?

It's not ready yet.
