Since 2020 the entire Python ecosystem is a tightly organized, hierarchical structure that only serves the old boys country club to keep their overpaid positions in the industry. Many of these are mediocre, they just rule, let external people do real and hard work and then take the credit.
Any dissent is squashed, the official authorities have no qualms about lying and controlling the infrastructure so that no dissent can he heard.
It won't change since their inflated salaries depend on it, unless corporations catch on and fire them (like Google did).
I've used and been involved in my Python community since the late '90s, and I wish I could say you're totally off the mark here, but... It hits closer to the mark than I'd like. There is a subset of the Python community that I dearly love, but these days the bulk of the Python leadership makes me reluctant to be involved with it.
I guess maybe it's a time marches on thing and the leadership serves a very different community than the one I remember. Which is fine if that's what's happening. But I'm not entirely convinced that that is the extent of the story.

As someone who has spent a little too much of their life having to deal with one cross-implementation C++ incompatibility or another, all I have to say is "good luck with that."

Python leadership isn't great, but again to compare it to c++ at least they're not defending and keeping around a convicted rapist and possessor of CSAM.

Better invest in learning a language with multiple implementations like C++. Heck, even Java/Oracle are more democratic than Python.
