One benefit (or drawback, depending on how you see it) of the -X option is that it wouldn't propagate to child processes spawned by multiprocessing. See _args_from_interpreter_flags() in Lib/subprocess.py.
More generally, the idea that we should remove a command line option because there's an environment variable sounds dubious to me. Should we do the same for all command-line options? The faulthandler module can be enabled either using the `PYTHONFAULTHANDLER` environment variable or by specifying `-X faulthandler` on the command line.
The only serious reason I can imagine would be that the -X option has a significant maintenance cost.
