Wireshark uses libpcap for capture on *some* platforms, not all.

The only platform on which it doesn't use a library called "libpcap"is Windows - and what it uses there is WinPcap, which is a driver toconnect to NDIS to do packet capture, a library built atop thatdriver, and a port of libpcap that uses that library, so libpcap isrelevant even on Windows.
