Somehow Python and JS can get away with json in std lib, but thing that builds binaries can’t? How often does it even need to be updated to parse freaking json

  Python's json is an often-quoted example of why not to have it in the standard lib. There are some bad defaults that no one can fix for stability reasons. Though I admit it does come in handy sometimes. In production, I've lately seen serde_json backed python implementations, this makes sense for performance and memory safety.
