On: The PEPs of Python 3.9

I would have preferred 'stripprefix' for unity with 'strip', 'rstrip', and 'lstrip'

[pdonis → kbd]

That's discussed in the article: the "strip" methods don't interpret strings of multiple characters as a single prefix or suffix to be removed, so it was felt to be too confusing to use "strip" type names for methods that do interpret strings that way.

[mixmastamyk → kbd]

They work differently. Strip removes all given characters from the end in any order. Trim sounds better to me, like one operation.
