The problem is that when they did the big Python 3 transition they didn't fix the real pain points (with the exception of string types), many of the things they fixed were not a problem, or worse they removed things that were actually useful. Such as the infamous print statement. So now they can never fix the real problems, because everybody is so traumatised by the Python 3 transition. I'll also say that the rate of development of Python is incredibly slow, slower than even JavaScript's TC39 if that's possible. I waited my whole Python career to get format string interpolation.
