I'd argue that's a strength. Note how scala is modularizing its standard lib in Dotty, and TypeScript is doing that same for stdlib typings.

Standard libs are great, but they need to be modular. If they're modular then they are versioned separately from the language, and at that point there's no difference between a well specified and maintained lib (eg lodash) and a stdlib.
