This is interesting, isn't it?

You probably know more also about this programming language
than you express here.

I suggest to take another look at information from the section
“2.4.3. Formatted string literals”.
https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings

This software documentation provides the information “New in version 3.6”.
Will such a detail trigger any more software development consequences?
