New nanosecond flavor of these functions may be added later, if a

exists. For example, the frequency of a CPU TSC clock is the CPU base
frequency: the resolution is around 0.3 ns for a CPU running at 3
GHz. Users who have access to such hardware and really need
sub-nanosecond resolution can easyly extend Python for their needs.
sub-nanosecond resolution can easily extend Python for their needs.
Such rare use case don't justify to design the Python standard library
to support sub-nanosecond resolution.
