In terms of performance, languages which don't have has tables in their standard library have an advantage in real life too, not just in the benchmark. While what you say is true, in great majority of the real life cases, if there's hash table implementation in the library, the developer will use that. If there's none, then they will start looking for one, making it more likely that they will choose a more fine-tuned to their needs implementation than if they already had generic one provided in the standard library.

The right one is always under the fold, with more upvotes but not selected as right by the asker. A standard library for a language will most probably get more attention from developers than any external library.
