This statement makes the entirely unjustified assumption that the code
will be read by exactly one “user”.

Python is a language designed for writing code that isn't limited to
just one reader.

So no, every individual author of code doesn't get to choose what is
readable for others; the Python community as a whole has a large say in
that.
