Lisp has had vectors and hash tables considerably longer than Python has existed.
It's a general purpose language, and any competent Lisper uses the right data structure for the job. As it happens, the cons tree (not a list, a tree!) is the right data structure for representing Lisp code. It's not necessarily the right data structure for representing other non-code data that Lisp code is working with.
