somewhat cynical/defeatist: Because those languages came along at a time previous to the web era and were often ruled by a single entity but in the web era XKCD standards rules https://xkcd.com/927/
Why have basic features defined such as namespace, hashing, basic data structures manipulation, and uuid when you can have the unpleasure of rewritting it everytime ?
Why avoid making your users download primitives they have a 100 copies of on their machines in all those dll and so ?
It's not like those are solved problems in all other languages that don't have an accidental monopoly on the Web.
