Because enums aren't import enough to warrant introducing little atrocities into the language.
Uh ?? It's the same code just taking a module name instead of requiring you to pull the module out of sys.modules yourself. It's not an atrocity at all.

P.S. I used the term "language" instead of stdlib because I expect
enums to be like decorators and context managers in that they
will be used almost everywhere -- you won't be able to ignore them.
Effectively, they will become a core language feature.
