Flit isn't (mostly) a wrapper around other tools - it has its own code to create and upload packages. This was one of the motivating cases for the PEPs (517, 518) defining a standard interface for build tools, so it's practical to make tools like this without wrapping setuptools.

(flit install does wrap pip, however)
