Python certainly makes some of the tasks so simple as to be moot. But some people try to bend a new language to match what they're used to.
For example, R is a statistical programming language where almost all data structures and operations are for vectors or arrays. But it's not unusual to see people on StackOverflow or blogs reinventing wheels like map/reduce/filter with for loops. I agree it's just inexperience that led to it, but the "intended" way is still idiomatic.
