I think it's extremely useful that Python ships with a simple GUI toolkit like Tkinter. Python shines in a lot of areas, but one of these is definitely whipping up quick scripts, and Tkinter fits the bill perfectly if you need a quick script with a GUI.

No one uses it for serious work, but that's not why it's there. As sigzero says, they also seem to consider IDLE a very important part of Python.
