Although I pretty much agree with everything you said in your post, 
I just want to make two small points:

1. Tkinter is pretty much considered standard, so removing it would
be a bit of problem for many people.

2. wxPython is a *really* easy download and install, so there's relatively
little advantage in making it a standard part of the distribution.  It's
also not really small, so bloating the standard distribution still further
to include it (assuming Tkinter is not actually removed first) would be
bad.
