There is no reason for print not being a function. Also, do you use

I use it all the time. Who doesn't? What do you use instead?
Usually file.write() or log.info() and friends. Since you can't really
control the encoding used by print(), nor redirect it locally, it's mostly
useless for anything but debugging and small scripts.
Maybe it's just me, but I find both debugging and small scripts to be
very useful.
No one said otherwise, or that print was useless and never used in such
contexts.
