Idealists and free developers (who have created the majority of the Python interpreter) agree with you. Corporate developers, who have taken over Python and other people's work, like unnecessary changes, because they get many billable hours of seemingly complex work that can be done on autopilot. Corporations might even take over more C extensions whose developers are no longer willing to put up with the churn and who have moved to C++ or Java. In the long run, this is bad for Python. But many developers want to milk the snake until their retirement and don't care what happens afterwards.
