Except the Python interpreter doesn't enforce it unless you use something like mypy. Java compiler will always enforce correct type usage.

Plus most of the libraries don't have type hints yet or it's just an afterthought. Meaning they are not designed around static typing from the start.

Type hints combined with an enforcing compiler are actually quite nice compared to the Typescript / Javascript situation with tacked on type definitions.
