There in lies another reason why OrderedDicts are still useful even in 3.12

Not really. It was pointed out that since 3.7 the order preserving behaviour is part of the spec for dicts.

I guess for most purposes, OrderedDicts are then obsolete, but I believe there are some extra convenience methods that they have, but I've only really needed to preserve order.

Makes you think what other parts of Python have become obsolete.
