except nothing enforces your types at run time, you can have typi hints all you want and everyone else cn ignore them

Same exists with laws. And in most languages if I want to avoid the type system and hand you a goldfish instead of an int, I can. It just may take more effort. Other language will blow up too if you hand them strange things. Just like python those languages have ways to verify you're not passing goldfish, You just may need more or less effort to use them

A lot of words for "yes, but all languages have this problem." The amount of effort to break the type system is the only difference.

Everyone else can ignore every coding guideline your team sets up, that’s why code reviews and managers exist.
