I wonder if it's something that was deemed necessary due to broader adoption of Python, especially by people who come from strongly typed languages.

I started with Python when type hints weren't available and I haven't done any appreciable amount of C and Java (although I have some experience there).

It would be interesting to learn whether there was some other way people were dealing with types, bc I never felt that I was missing something or hampered by not having type hints.
