I believe the existence of spec does not always guarantee a built-in. The module could also be a pure-Python module loaded from a .py file, or a compiled extension module like .so, .pyd, .dylib, or a namespace package (init) or a built-in, or a frozen module (embedded bytecode in the executable, and so on.
I think it is best to use spec.origin if a spec exists:
raise TypeError(f'{object!r} is: {object.__spec__.origin}')
In a limited number of cases, origin may be unset/None, but I feel that's better than clubbing everything as a built-in module. WDYT?
