Not everybody agrees with you that it's a worthy goal. Personally I have little desire to see it removed, doubt its removal will be achieved and tend to think the various attempts to do it are misguided.
I could imagine getting pretty jaded as a python maintainer having to keep pointing out why the latest attempt won't work. I think the onus is on those who want this to demonstrate that it can be done successfully and lay out a plan as to how it can be put into the real world without causing chaos in a python ecosystem that has only relatively recently got over the trauma of python 3 (which is the bit I doubt is possible).
Edit: To be clear, I don't think anything that consists of a set of proposed changes to the cpython interpreter is even beginning to attempt to think about the implications for the ecosystem, which is where the actual challenges are, and I'm assuming that's what the "Just creating a PR" comment is saying.
