My concern with Python’s feature bloat is the opposite. That there aren’t parts you’re not supposed to use - developers are expected to know all of it. Three string formatting approaches are all in wide use. There are now two different ways to do something as fundamental as assignment. Some classes use explicit methods like __eq__, others hide them by using @dataclass. Async-await adds coloured functions [0], along with “red” versions of numerous language constructs. That’s not to mention type annotations, which I won’t deny are popular but are incredibly complex.
