I thought that the "idiomatic pink" in fact is the "Magenta" mixture of blue/violet and red wavelengths and the "neutral light red" produced by mixing "pure red" with "pure white" you call "Pink" would be commonly perceived as "bland" or "washed out" or "too yellowish" compared to the "Magenta pink" as you call it (?)
In other words, that the colour that is commonly called "pink" and occurs in nature has always somewhat bluish tint, while the "neutral pink" you refer to is somewhat rare in the nature.
In computer terms, named colour `pink` is
rgb(100% 75% 80%)
whilst the "neutral pink" of the same lightness would possibly be a darkened variant of the the `misty rose` what is defined as
rgb(100% 89% 88%)
Arguably the "blue" accent in computer `pink` could be an adjustment addressing some technical display peculiarities, but I like to think that the real reason for the standardised `pink` being really "light magenta" is the intent to adhere to the natural counterparts (and resulting common language).
Look at how yellowish the "darkened mistyrose" rgb(100% 77% 77%) appears compared to "pink"
