Django’s general policy is that templates should be kept as simple as possible. It's possible to create range() objects in the view, place them in the context, and then iterate over them in templates.
Also, adding range() for a project is a few lines of code with simple_tag: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/custom-template-tags/#simple-tags. So it doesn't seem like much to ask users to add it when required.
