There is no import ceremony. Imports are just stated in the source.
There is a package ceremony for whatever reasons.
Sorry, I have no idea what 'package ceremony' means.
But why not? Because it looks up for *living* imported
packages in the module cache ( in sys.modules ).
I don't think there is any particular design idea behind it. The
module cache is just a simple flat dictionary; a no-brainer to
implement and efficient for look ups.
This all dates to the time before packages and imports from zip files
and such.

What is that?
Object oriented programming.
Domain model == oop? New one for me.
All you are left with is those Finders, Loaders and Importers
in Brett Cannons importlib. Everything remains deeply mysterious and I
don't wonder that it took long for him to work this out.
And your proposal is?
I have still more questions than answers.
OK. I will just note that import statements are syntactic sugar for
__import__ calls and name bindings. One could try out other import
schemes, just without the sugar.
