Review Comment:
   In `this case` of Python, it is because the data type is ArrayData 
(specifically implemented as `GenericArrayData`),
   This case just goes into the following logic:
   
   
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/09bdf2a9334f210ece4c23d0f3324f81113330d0/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/csv/UnivocityGenerator.scala#L91-L93
   
   
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/09bdf2a9334f210ece4c23d0f3324f81113330d0/sql/catalyst/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/catalyst/util/GenericArrayData.scala#L85
   
   
   And it just so happens that `GenericArrayData` overrides the `toString` 
method, so it appears to display the result `correctly`, perhaps it's just a 
`coincidence`?
