"Does last year's code still work" is very important to almost all programmers. I wouldn't want to accidentally use a library that gets abandoned or deprecated a few months after I made it an integral part of my software. Being able to mostly stick to the standard lib makes this a lot easier.

That works for Rust's standard library, which won't abandon anything stable (stuff gets deprecated, but that just results in a build warning).
It doesn't make as much sense for Python's standard library where you'd need to be paying attention to goings-on in the community to know if one of the batteries that are included has been judged expired and will be removed.
