You could argue that every programming language needs that. What makes SQL more special than the others in this regard? There are reasons we use IEEE754: it's fixed-sized, it's built-in pretty much everywhere, and it's usually implemented in hardware, so it's fast. Those are fantastic selling points for IEEE754. There are reasons we all dislike it too...
