The issue is people try to get throughput from Python and GIL stands in the way. A lot of people learned Python and now want to use it for something more serious even if Python was not designed for it. I work on high volume backends (like million TPS on a single node) and Python for me is just a toy language. But I see no reason to purposefully inconvenience these people by keeping GIL if it can be removed.
