There are plenty of ways to do assignments. Walrus assignments are only the obvious way in certain cases, and in general there aren't other obvious ways. For testing and assigning the result of re.match, for instance, walrus assignments are clearly better than a temporary.
I can think of lots of nonobvious ways to do assignments, like setattr(__module__...)
