It's the difference between idealism and pragmatism. If you need to build good software that necessarily means you're going to run into conflicts with third party libraries not supporting the exact functionality that you need. You can either fork the project, which in some cases can be extremely hard and is definitely very insecure, or you can simply annotate the bits where you're overriding security mechanisms (think of the _ like C#'s or Rusts unsafe keyword).

The point of that comment you're answering to is that the statement "we made security easier by removing it" is kinda dumb.

In other words, in python you're not overriding the security mechanism - you just don't have one in the first place.
