its comfortable, easy, appealing in the short term. just like why people overeat their junk food. there's this common idea in management that new grads, SREs, "less experienced devs", can jump in and contribute. it's a falacy because the code becomes unmaintainable without a large investment (more unittests, refactoring the "buggy" code blocks with mypy type annotations, some SME who continues fixing prod bugs). a Python developer will shove their head in the sand with repl'ing, testing after deploy, and settle with this dev/ex while being completely unaware of the benefits of compiler errors and warnings. Python has the same level of complexity as another language but you'll only see all of that dirty baggage in production as runtime exceptions.
