I cannot remember us using another datetime library. So, I don't value

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.
