Counterpoint: Python is tempting to non-programmers, because it is heavily used in industry and there are libraries for everything. A language designed for non-programmers won't have thousands of useful libraries and blog posts about every topic possible. Maybe the "non-programmer friendly" language could add some kind of FFI to use libraries from another language, but then someone who wants to use it needs to understand caveats of two languages, not just one. And mypy/pyright etc is not that bad imo - Python is fully dynamically typed, mypy just tries to help when it "knows" something is wrong, but user may ignore it. But I don't know, I've used python for so long that I may be blind to it's caveats.
