That is because converged is a property. That makes it be seen as data.

Properties are computed attributes. Although they have a function deep
inside them, to perform the computation, they are seen from the outside as
data attributes.

See the documentation for "property" for more information, and google
for "descriptor" for the underlying mechanism that allows this to work.
(Warning: descriptors are considered very advanced material.)
