Because ... is still bound to the original Ellipsis. Just as "s" below will remain bound to the original str.
s = str str = int int <class 'int'> s <class 'str'>

If you're proposing prevention of monkey patching Ellipsis, I think you'll have to go all-in on all builtins.
For example:
str = int
str
<class 'int'>
str == int
True
If you rebind str to int, the repr of str will say <class 'int'>, so you can tell that something's happened, but the repr of ... is always 'Ellipsis', even though you've rebound Ellipsis.

In Python `...` is referred to as `Ellipsis` and cannot be assigned to. Yet, one can assign any value to the name `Ellipsis`.
Consider the following:
```

For consistency, `Ellipsis` (the name) should **always** refer to the same object that `...` refers to, so that both could not be assigned a new value.
