There is clear value in being able to pass around several pieces of information about the same thing without having to individually name them every time (less typing, you can decide to include more members at a later time, less overhead in passing by reference, users can treat it as an opaque type without needing to know the contents, etc).

This. I look at old code I wrote and cringe at things like

    def foo(...):
       ...
       return yhat, sse, aic, bic

    yhat, _, _, _ = foo(ytrue)
    plot(ytrue, yhat)
