Yep that is the intended Deno standard modules -- the goal is to have a standard library large enough to cover most use cases (and that this standard library would not depend on external sources), while making sure that it is independent from the Deno binary to avoid bloat and allow choices (you can definitely implement your own alternatives)

Sounds a lot like Python with its standard library, eq. "batteries included".
