What if two different groups start fighting over the keyword "type" or "doc" or "lock"? Python already has a module system that allows you to use the word "type" and me to use the word "type" without conflict

But, in general, performing this disambiguation requires executing the module that is making the annotations. For a processor that only wants to deal with the source, this is undesirable.
