They're actually saying that Python developers prefer one particular way of doing something rather than a different particular way of doing the same thing. You're suggesting that they're saying Python developers (Canadians) prefer Python (Canada).
I don't mean to speak against your broader points, just that this specific call out is mistaken.
Once you start adding more "and" to the if-statement in the list comprehension, it becomes a mess. Breaking them down to smaller chunks is required because comprehensions are messy. You are doing smaller chunks due to a shortcoming of comprehensions. Chaining is nice option to have, especially when the chained functions are straight forward.
