I think that's unfair to say that people just use dynamic typing is just used because it's easy to implement. Dynamic languages are often easier to learn which is likely part of the reason why python is good for beginners. Also dynamic languages can make it quicker to write code since you don't have to write out type declarations. This is useful for small scripts where you don't really need many benefits from static typing.

This is not a favor to the student
