[Python] Why are expected_conditions all_of, none_of, and any_of absent in the Selenium python...

I am using Selenium with Python and came across the need to use WebDriverWait and selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions in it. I have to wait for an element to be removed and for another to be displayed, so I was wishing to use all_of and none_of to make the conditions easier to understand:

WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(
EC.all_of(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "span[title='VMC OIC-2 batch 2022'")),
EC.none_of(
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#startup")),
EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#initial-startup"))
)
)
)


Unforunately, I received this error:

AttributeError: module 'selenium.webdriver.support.expected_conditions' has no attribute 'all_of'


On further inspection through raw printing I got to know that none of the any_of, all_of and none_of conditions were working.

Another thing to note is that the mentioned conditions are present in Selenium with Java. I could find an issue talking about this, and it seems like any_of, all_of and none_of were eventually added to expected_conditions as is evident in the Selenium repository's corresponding file: expected_conditions.py (the last three functions).

This question is demanding an explanation, not an alternative, I am well aware I can write a function to do the same task or even copy the function listed in expected_conditions.py but I would really like to know why these functions are present in the repository and absent in the working package.

Thanks for reading!
