"The main use case of type hinting is static analysis using an external
tool without executing the analyzed program. Existing tools used for
that purpose like pyflakes [pyflakes] or pylint [pylint] might be
extended to support type checking. New tools, like mypy's mypy -S mode,
can be adopted specifically for this purpose.
How is that the opposite direction? It's a short jump from there to
"pylint [or whatever tool] will consider a lack of type hinting to be
something to warn for" and "managers/customers will consider this
warning to mean your program has failed and is unacceptable".
You've snipped the other two paragraphs of the quote that I gave thus
completely altering the context. If they're too stupid to know the
meaning of the word "hint" that's their problem.
