My compilers don't routinely generate object files, which would also
need an external dependency (a linker), but they can do if necessary
(eg. to statically link my code into another program with another
compiler).

 
Modular code design would indicate that there is no point the compiler
duplicating functionality available in the linker.

 
Python uses modules and yet doesn't have a linker.

What is importlib, then, if not something that links everything together?

And guess what: it’s a module.
