The issue I have is that, to me, string keys say "arbitrary" and attributes say "enumerated set".
I do not understand the distinciton. In fact getattr(x,...) functionally just delegates to getitem(x.dict, ...). I do not see why this delegation should not be achieved using the same operator getitem.
That's because you're looking at it through the lens of the implementation. But you're suggesting changing the language. The argument for that cannot depend on the implementation.
