"Why should the language have opinions about how I should or shouldn’t structure my code?"

Isn't that what attracts so many people to Python in the first place - that it does have strong opinions, and often enforces them on how people should structure their code.

Python, in many places, optimizes for readability, rather than flexibility, and there is a community of users that really appreciate that. Not to say the feeling is universal (clearly isn't) - but it's at least an answer to the "why?"
