They were introduced in Ada 2005. The initial design (by Matt Heaney,
see [1]) was based on the STL: one reason was that there was an existing
design philosophy to base the Ada work on; another, that there existed
literature about the STL. In hindsight, I don't think that literature
has helped a lot.
