I think the biggest point why python does NOT need underscore is that python has pip and for almost every problem exists a simpler helper library.

Probably _the_ reason for underscore is that it can be distributed via CDNs and cached by the browser. This reason does not exist for other languages. If i want to retry stuff i can use a retry library, easily downloaded via pip. Same as i use argtools because argparse sucks. Same for database access, etc. etc.
