Because it's convenient, and the semantics are subtly different (and
IMO suboptimal) without them.  E.g. the builtin version uses a
generator in a few places, while the standalone version uses an
iterator.  The generator version is much more intuitive, but to write
cross-version code that uses that interface you need to do something
like call list() on a return value.
