You aren’t required to know it but I don’t think it’s fair for you to say that typing shouldn’t be added just because you don’t want to use it. JavaScript had been made better in the form of typescript and I’d love to use a truly typed python as well.

100% this. I like Python but I'm working on a large inherited code base and type hints on parameters would have made this much easier. Stronger typing would be a good thing imo.
Python does not have the scale to make typing worthwhile, but people are already making it a required Python skill.
I this feature is optional, then I should not be required to know it, right?
If you want static typing, please use another language that makes use of them to actually speed up the code. Let's keep the docstrings for documentation.
