Rust seems to do find with a de-facto logging library, and the Java ecosystem seems to have converged on a common API, but with a lot of effort I think.
The core question of this subthread was what, if anything, the effect of only having a de facto logging solution was on a language community. The community easily coalescing around a de jure solution (and for a different problem with a significantly smaller API surface) is not really relevant to that.
