You might consider this too much of an edge case but what if I want to pass something that quacks like an EventLoop to Process init ?

Unless it's a subclass (which would pass), I don't imagine that would be at all likely.
Never been much of a fan of duck typing. It only really makes sense when you have objects that approximate built in types.
Take a random object with a .run() method, for example, and you don't have a fucking clue what it might be doing so there's no point interpreting that as a quack.

Here's one way. Those asserts will typically pick up on errors during spikes, development and tests and turn a head scratching problem into a straightforward issue.
A couple of times on a disastrously tech debt ridden project I used it to pick up obscure configuration errors in prod, too (shouldn't see it in prod on a relatively well written project tho).
