There is one major difference: an abandoned external package may break with newer python versions, whereas you can always count on stdlib packages being updated for new versions.

Can you provide an example?
To the best of my knowledge, minor version updates in Python 3 have been entirely backwards so far and shouldn't have broken any library code. And as for incompatible changes sick as the transition to 3, then these of course had interface changes in the standard library.
