Guido van Rossum added the comment: OK, it isn't worth fighting for. I will update PEP 484. It seems mypy doesn't support the special treatment bytearray anyway.
For posterity, the reason I thought that bytearray should be accepted is not that bytearray is better in any way, just that sometimes you might read a filename off a bytearray that you read off a file or a socket. But it's clearly not a strong use case (or we had gotten complaints long ago) so I'll let it go. Sorry!!
