Personally, I am comfortable with Pythons "linter warning and we are all adults here" - it works well and I have never seen that somebody cried "I overwrote this private method and after an upgrade it did not work!". .Net allows it via reflection and considering that .Net Frameworks could run untrusted code it was okay that it was forbidden out of the box (since reflection was forbidden for untrusted code). But in the current world, where untrusted code does not really exist anymore? It's just legacy cruft.
