Agree but fortunately Python's types are entirely optional!

I'm very familiar with pyright and still I start most of my new projects without types and start sprinkling them in once I have a good base working already. This works so well that every time I pick up a static language I just get turned off by the friction of mandatory types and go back to Python. The only exception is Typescript where I can just Any everything temporarily as well.
