Python is strongly typed though, in addition to being dynamically typed like you said. I think that makes Python a great language for type hints. I know the language won't do an unexpected conversion the way javascript would, yet variables aren't confined to just one type since it's dynamic - and the type hints don't hinder that at all. It's basically just an extra feature in Python for helping lint tools and as documentation for the user.
