It was mentioned in some past discussion here, you should be able to
find them in the archives. In a nutshell, they are parts of some
MSYS2 packages, which are included because they provide libraries used
by Emacs for optional features. IOW, these executables are there just
by accident, and I'm not surprised that Python doesn't come with its
full suite of packages expected by Python developers. People who want
really to use Python should install it independently.
