I've wondered the same sort of thing for awhile. It often comes back to 
people taking ideas from whatever language they're familiar with, and 
trying to force them into Python.

The reason for this, as I see it, is that Python is so incredibly easy 
to get into, that many people think they fully understand it after a 
few days use.
