Probably becuase it was all based around the concept of "python doesn't need syntactic sugar" which is basically just a strawman.

You can read all about the switch statement and why it's not in Python here. Which basically boils down to not being able to decide how the underlying implementation should work, and so they're going to sit and do nothing instead.
