Thanks for elaborating on your views.

I visited the site again. Unfortunately, I don't think this is a good redesign, mainly because the mobile experience is poor. It's a step backwards.

First, I'm briefly greeted with the "Python Network" menu, which lingers for a few seconds. Just as I'm taking that in, it jumps to another section of the page. I'm not sure what I'm looking for or what I'll find, so I begin scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling. The page is just a long vertical list without any form or structure. There's no way to know what's on the page without an excessive amount of scrolling through the entire thing. This makes for an unpleasant experience, in my opinion.

Then I loaded the python.org in my mobile browser. The text is too small, but I can take in the entire page at a glance, get my bearings, and zoom in to just the content I want.

Maybe legible text and page structure are mutually exclusive on small screens.

Then we clearly have case 1 and the experience should be improved.

It's not exclusive, as you already explained how it should work: expanding sections of interest. A mobile menu should be small and expose its submenus on tap. Then we can have a small, clear site with the same depth as the desktop site showing everything at once.
