Was that really the intention? Because I was there when PEP 572 was written, and I don't recall "beautiful one-liners" as one of the justifying reasons. Use around if/while conditions was a strong reason, and yes, that can save a line, but "beautiful one-liners" hasn't generally been a justifying factor in any Python feature.
Never said about the intention, just stated that I see it as being a part of their construction. However, in the PEP you have referred and also as I remember reading python’s “what’s new”, list comprehensions and other 1-liners were close to half of all examples.

We even got a new operator “:=“ to help us with those beautiful one-liners (or not) to move towards aesthetics and brevity.
