I guess that because of historical reasons, from back in the day, when there was no generalised concept of threads.

And in C its declaration is in unistd.h or Windows.h (and they are both different).

I don't see a big problem here
Especially for newcomers
It's better to import sleep from time module rather than understanding threads and importing it from there

As of C11, there's actually thrd_sleep as a cross platform sleep function.
