A huge portion of python programmers, probably more than any other language, see python (and programming in general) purely as a means to an end, not a craft to be learned. They will happily do the bare minimum of learning required in order to get working code that solves their problem, which probably means emulating a lot of python code without type hints, and not reading documentation if they can help it. To be clear, I don’t fault these people at all. They probably have other priorities in their work.
