What is the*fascination*  with splitting and renaming packages this
way?

No idea generally, but in the world of Python packaging,
the two cases I know (poetry, flit) were motivated by folks not wanting to pull in full-blown package and environment management apps when they only want to pip install something that uses it.

The split made a lot of sense.

core - PEP517 backend https://peps.python.org/pep-0517/
the rest - an app that let's you "manage" your project

Scenario:

- The developer uses the full app to create and develop the project.
- The user uses -core to build and install it.

(Obviously a developer is free to just use -core as well, if they like it. Many upstream projects use flit-core only.)
