It's not so much a feature as a standard. And other tools will use it as well. I'm working on one of them. PEP 751 means I don't have to design the thing myself, and I can potentially share data with the tools you mentioned.

And it’s a good thing that they built a standard that has buy-in.

I’m pointing out that if they didn’t have your buy-in, the work would be dead on arrival.

Unlike a python feature like let’s say, typing - there’s no way it can be pushed through without 100% consensus.
