I'm all with this, but you can pretty much use python without touching these at all. They have a niche business use cases. E.g., when you work on large projects and you want to catch some errors to not be in the runtime.
async was very needed to be able to write performant web servers such as nodejs.
I'm not using python as i used to, and i think the language is getting more complex, and i'd definitely vow for more fundamental changes to the runtime. But if you ignored all of that, python is still remain python. And when your business logic gets more complex, it is imperative your code becomes more complex and you get to discover and use more "language advanced features". The good thing they are available, they are not perfect, but they can be of a good help.
