But is it even true?

I just tried to reproduce it (should have done that before answering)
with mypy 0.942 (included in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS):

----[p1]---------------------------------------------------------------
from typing import List, Optional

class GLOBALS:
    foos: Optional[Foos]=None

class Foo:

    def __init__(self):
        pass

class Foos:
    Foos: List[Foo]=[]
    # SOME GLOBALS ARE USED HERE

    def __init__(self):
        pass

GLOBALS.foos=Foos()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

----[p2]---------------------------------------------------------------
from typing import List, Optional

class GLOBALS:
    Foos: Optional[Foos]=None

class Foo:

    def __init__(self):
        pass

class Foos:
    Foos: List[Foo]=[]
    # SOME GLOBALS ARE USED HERE

    def __init__(self):
        pass

GLOBALS.Foos=Foos()
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So the only difference is the capitalization of foos. And mypy accepts
both (as it probably should):

% mypy p1
Success: no issues found in 1 source file
% mypy p2
Success: no issues found in 1 source file


If you did something different, please explain what you did.
