They exist, and there are many cases where you would use a datetime 
library other than datetime for various reasons (integration in third 
party systems is only one reason).  But this is just a tangent.

In fact the situation with pathlib is similar to datetime - before the 
inclusion of datetime in the stdlib, there were several datetime 
libraries available.  Before pathlib, there were several path object 
libraries.  Only now, the third party options offer a great deal of 
competition over the stdlib option, thus these many hundreds, if not 
thousands, of emails on the subject.
