The PEP 515 added '_' as a separator between digits. But the imaginary unit is not a digit. For same reason '1_/_2' shouldn't be allowed for the Rational constructor. (Unfortunately, the Decimal class breaks this PEP convention as well as some other, see issue44267. For example, it accepts things like '1_._2'.)

Good catch, probably that should be allowed too.

The PEP 515 added '_' as a separator between digits.  But the
imaginary unit is not a digit.  For same reason '1_/_2' shouldn't
be allowed for the Rational constructor.  (Unfortunately, the
Decimal class breaks this PEP convention as well as some other,
see issue44267.  For example, it accepts things like '1_._2'.)
