Customers don't have access to static analysis output and project 
managers should know better than to demand static analysis without 
properly contextualize it. I just don't see a project manager having no 
idea what static analysis means.

I think you are completely of the mark here, if you think type 
annotations will become some sort of obligatory feature.

The criticism is about the choices regarding its syntax and whether it 
should couple so tightly with our source code (as is suggested on the 
PEP) and whether it should be entirely moved to comment-like structures.

No one in their right mind looks at static analysis as an obligatory 
feature in Python, or any other programming language.
