Because "more effort and care" in Python is still way less of a pain in the ass than the minimum enforced boilerplate necessary in most other languages.

I mean, is it? I personally haven't found Python using much less boilerplate. It's possible, but you end up with something inflexible that's hard to maintain.

Implement a basic socket connection in C (20 lines of manipulating struct sockaddrs and such), then do the same in Python (2 lines).

And then go back and make the C version support IPV6, because your initial implementation didn't.

Or use a statically typed language that’s actually modern instead of C
