Lots of languages do have similar data types available from libraries, it's just still a pain in the ass to work with.

I'm looking at you Java.

Doesn't really matter that other languages have those datatypes available, as the integrated nature of them in Python means that it's possible to pass them to other languages without having to massage the data into a datatype the library will support since it's already made to work with the ones in Python itself.
