Python's file system support across platforms is notoriously problematic or even outright broken. Wasn't this enough reason to put it lower in the quality bar than JavaScript?

JavaScript doesn’t even have file system support.. each runtime has its own tacked on implementation in the relevant “standard” library. Now which is notoriously problematic?
