I'd need well-reasoned explanations

My reasoning is essentially the same as what I've already
said about "where". To summarise, "given" sounds like
something an English-speaking mathematician would write,
whereas ":=" doesn't even have an obvious pronunciation.
Some variation on "given" just seems greatly more pythonic
to me.
