Because it would amount to about double the work for all those involved.

Besides, Python 3.11 has some points for it:
- Real performance gains for real workloads
- It will be supported one year longer (so EOL is expected to be around the time bookworm will be out of stable, too).

Maybe you could sponsor a "backport" of Python3.11?

My 2 cents
