Ultimately it seems like the interpreter implementation knows best about what aspects of it's underlying platform would require different libraries.
I don't think it makes sense to make a builtin of such a little used, non-performance critical API. If we want to factor out all implementation-specific things, we could add a module dedicated to that (e.g. "_interpreter") and have other modules (os, platform, sysconfig...) draw from that.
