I feel like there’s a missing discussion as to why they aren’t going with Ipython

I think the issue with iPython is that it's really quire large and has a non-trivial number of third-party dependencies that would need to be dealt with.

Python already has a million libraries built in, adding more in would be a pain. Plus there is the politics of making something "core" when the maintainers aren't part of the core python team.
