Windows did ship with VBScript (and probably does still). You can also install languages via a package manager; an example:

After installing a third party bootstrapping program. I suppose that's as close as it gets.

Windows still ships with VBScript, but it's not a language I'd want to look into either. Everyone that has worked with it sighs when it comes up and nobody actually uses it for automation as far as I know (everything's either powershell, good old batch scripts, or custom .NET software).
