Hardware generator frameworks allow you to use a full-powered modern software language to control generation of hardware. Think about why it may be easier to implement something in Python than C. Adding capabilities to VHDL/SystemVerilog is very difficult since many vendors and tools have to implement it, and if any of them don't support it the whole feature can't be used.
