Type hints in python are just that, hints. Use them to help with clarity but enforcing them and requiring them everywhere generally leads to the worst of all worlds. Lots of boilerplate, less readable code and throwing away many of the features that make python powerful. Use the best language for the job and use the right language features at the right time. I see too many black or white arguments in the developer community, there is a middle ground and the best code is almost always written there.

IMO, that complaint almost always goes with overuse of concrete types when abstract (Protocol/ABC) types are more accurate to the function of the code.
There was a time that that was a limitation in Python typing, but that that hasn’t been true for almost as long as Python typing had been available at all before it stopped being true.
