This is the right answer. I'm willing to stick my head out and assert that languages with a "minimal" standard library are defective by design. The argument of APIs being stuck is mood with approaches like Rust's epocs or "strict mode".
Standard libraries should include everything needed to interact with modern systems. This means HTTP parsing, HTTP requests, and JSON parsing. Some laguages are excellent (like python), while some are half way there (like go), and some are just broken (Rust).
External libraries are for niche or specialized functionality. External libraries are not for functionality that is used by most modern software. To put your head in the ground and insist otherwise is madness and will lead to ridiculous outcomes like this.
