What would the benefits of a language native implementation be, over something like decimal.js?

Is it just a matter of there being a "blessed" implementation for folks to standardize around?

Universal support for third party integrations such as connecting with a database that allows for arbitrary precision decimals, communicating with other services without forcing a use of a random lib (because there are many that do this kind of thing).

Support for this I believe is "low level enough" to ve implemented natively, it's not something like protobuf.
