Hyperfocusing on pattern matching and walrus operators when there are many extremely good improvements happening in Python fixing _real issues people have in production_ (stuff like packing in python timezones, improvements to pip's resolvers to make package resolution more correct, defaulting locale to UTF8) is very annoying. Like the syntax is... divisive. And there's stuff like Black not being able to work with 3.10 for a while cuz it needs to rewrite its parser. But Python 2 -> 3 was a mess, and the python maintainers learned their lesson by making changes that would improve existing code without having to do full rewrites. Like if you scroll through the changelog of recent releases you'll find loads of QoL improvements and things that are actually making the language more portable and easier to use in production. The CPython team does listen to needs of people (at least when it goes beyond aesthetics concerns...)
