I’d push back on this by writing the Pandas and Polars etc of the world could be a lot better if they supported generic types. The fact the DataFrame is not connected to your struct / types is a big problem because everyone everywhere has to write at least two functions and probably more like 14 functions to enable basic CRUD operations on Struct of Arrays correctly given Structs. For example, you need a StructOfArraysToArrayOfStructs function and ArrayOfStructsToStructOfArrays function and StructToRow and RowToStruct at least. Making sure those work for all the various types of thing in a programming language like python is no easy feat. Not having those functions built in, means everyone has to make sure those functions work on their own.
