Rationale for dropping ModuleImport syntax?

It could be added later, but to turn the question around:  why should it be
dropped?  It has been part of the design for a very long time, it's
currently used by many people working in the ES6 space, and it meets a
semantic need.

If you want to drop a feature this late in the game, then you need to show
that it's one of the following:

1. Buggy
2. A footgun
3. Not useful
4. Future-hostile

I don't see that it meets any of those requirements, do you?
