Note that coveragepy ain't the sole usecase for this.

https://pypi.org/project/manhole/ - a debugging tool
https://pypi.org/project/hunter/ - a tracer

In addition to those there's https://pypi.org/project/pytest-cov/ which packages the pth trick so coverage works consistently in all scenarios without putting users through the trouble of messing their python installation.

Also, the amount of activity and enthusiasm on changing something that already works while other inconsistencies in python's core like issue23990 are ignored is disheartening.
