Adding syntax to the CPython interpreter

For all of the syntax features Python has been adding over the years, this would be a nice enhancement: making the "else None" optional in the ternary if-expression. E.g.,

    spam = eggs if bar
    # vs
    spam = eggs if bar else None

Do we really need more syntactic sugar? Frankly, I am still confused why Python is going for a separate syntax for if expressions instead of just making its regular ifs into expressions
