I think it is for historical reasons. Currently statements consisting of a constant expression are not compiled to a bytecode and do not add a value to co_consts. But when this optimization was not yet added, the first element of co_consts with a docstring was a docstring. So why add co_doc if the docstring is already available?
This can be changed, but this is a breaking change, and what we will got instead?
Function's __name__ is set from code object's co_name.
