I agree with this part of what you said.
But, not this part:

In unstable, yes, at least temporarily; but not forever (and 3.11 has
already disappeared from testing).
Also, many Debian developers think of our stable releases as being our
primary deliverable, with testing/unstable only being a tool that we
use to make the next stable release. In stable, we generally only have
one version of Python (for example Debian 12 has Python 3.11 and no
other version), because the Python maintainers and other core teams do not
have the resources to security-support more than one branch for 3 years.
