Aside from the restriction to binding only to a simple name, and the fact that they're also an expression with the same value, how are they not the same as plain assignment? Any discrepancies should be considered bugs.

Slightly different in that they return the value, and are expressions not assignment statements.

Now, I agree that's not a difference of much consequence, but the difference from "import as" is not either.
