I was looking into a mechanism to get the aux fields from recvmsg() in python and I came across this issue. Looks like this feature was added in python 3.3. Is there any reason why this feature was not added for python 2.7?

Most certainly: Python 2.7 (and thus Python 2) is feature-frozen; no new features can be added to it. People wanting new features need to port to Python 3.
