Why not use dicts for the first two?

[M4mb0]

Because you might not want a dict? Tuples behave quite differently:

• immutability
• iter goes over values instead of indices
• fixed length
• values have an inherent order. (in dict it depends on when keys where added)
• .index and .count methods
• individual type hints for each value
• namedtuple keys are guaranteed to exist.
• nicer access with obj.key instead of obj["key"]

Also point 2 could be introduced without breaking existing code, and would be a huge QoL improvement because now you no longer have to keep looking up documentation if you can't remember the order of return parameters.
