This is quite an oversimplification. Some modules have no active maintainers and take time from the small team that work on CPython. Some modules are deprecated and removed to make it possible to allocate time on other improvements, and they went back on some removals when users came forward showing that they were still needed.

There is some discussion about the rationale at https://peps.python.org/pep-0594/#rationale

Did you read the latest news or not? They regret asyncio! (and many other core modules).

They won't remove them… but they regret having made them.

I think without, people would have just not used python.

After using Trio, I would regret asyncio too
