Because they aren't. You even mentioned that a few operations that
aren't atomic. If operations are atomic it isn't necessarily because
of the design of the list, but the design of CPython. More
specifically the GIL. I don't mean to imply that you can't get a

I have two threads that share a python list. One thread adds to the
list with append(), the other thread removes items with pop().
My question is -- are python list operations atomic? If they are not,
then I assume I need to put some mutual exclusion around the append()
