Why are there 20 seperate Python implmentations?!

I understand that different implementations clearly look different, but in my opinion that doesn't belong in this repo, unless it's under a py folder for all python examples.
In a similar vein there are 3 C samples:
But then only 1 C++ sample:
Are we really expecting different implementations for every different way someone can possibly render "Hello world" onto the screen in their chosen language? If so we should probably make this clear in the readme / repo description.
Python Implementations:
Pygame, PyQt4, PyQt5, PySide2, PySimpleGUI, kivy, libavg, wxPython, tkinter are not separate implementations of Python, but rather libraries/frameworks. And Python has two major versions, Python 2 and Python 3.
HTTPpy, manim, flask, django, bottle, blender, fastapi, panther, cherrypy are frameworks built on top of Python for specific purposes like web development, GUI, etc.
C Implementations:
CGI, Pebble, C are not implementations of the C language, they are samples or projects written in the C language. C itself is a language, and there are no different "implementations" of C in the way Python has implementations like CPython, Jython, etc.
are not separate implementations of Python, but rather libraries/frameworks
Not sure if this is a rebuttle? This actualyl hits the nail on the head of my point. If they were seperate implementations of >Python< (or the programming language itself) that would be okay. But they're different implementations using different libraries. That doesn't belong here, imo. There are millions of libraries out there, are we anticipating an implementation for all libraries of all languages?
In my opinion Hello-world this repo should be used for comparing how to do "hello world" programs in different languages. Thus we should have 1 implementation for each language, and they should be comparable implementations.
i.e.
- Hello world to console
- Implementation in C
- Implementation in C++
- Implementation in Python
- Implementation in Ruby
- ...
- Hello world to win32 form
- Implementation in C
- Implementation in C++
- Implementation in Python
- Implementation in Ruby
- ...
- Hello world to canvas
- Implementation in C
- Implementation in C++
- Implementation in Python
- Implementation in Ruby
- ...
etc. For what it's worth I think having implementations in Py2 and Py3 is at least acceptable
