Probably because no one has asked for such, as least partly because it
is not really needed. In any case, .count(s) is a generic method. It is
part of the definition of a Sequence. It can also be implemented for
non-sequence collections, such as a Tree class, that allow multiple
occurrences of an item.

Strings (of unicode or bytes) are exceptional in multiple ways.
