What you’re describing is what happens when you have a developer who’s bad at their job.

I see the point that python invites these anti patterns.

But on the other hand, a software developer that returns Union(list[item], item]) in Python is probably also going to mess up a Java program sooner or later.

I don't think you'd ever write that in Java because Java would punish you for it. You can always blame the programmer, but I'm always going to blame the language for making 'bad' easy.
