It's very unlikely Inkscape 1.0 will ever go into -updates.
1.0 changed many things, including the command line options, that *do* break other packages (just two days ago, a fellow Debian Developer wrote to me about this).  Unfortunately, Inkscape 1.0 came too late to be included in Ubuntu 20.04.

The Ubuntu backports project is basically dead, and has been so for
years.  If anybody ever revive it I'll gladly upload Inkscape there, but
don't hope too much.  It's easier to just use the PPA.

Lastly, it's not true that "This Ubuntu release should not depend on
Python 2".  Python 2 has not been removed, what has been removed is the
unversioned /usr/bin/python binary, but `python2` is still there.  We
went a long way trying to remove python2, but there are still too many
packages depending on it that we didn't make it in time.
