I'm really surprised popular numerical computing Python packages don't already have optimized hardware back-ends for things like NumPy

I think it is hard to beat modern BLAS implementations for common operations. E.g. Apple Accelerate (which also implement the BLAS/LAPACK APIs) uses undocumented AMX instructions for large speedups compared to an ARM NEON implementation.
