As far as I remember, one goal of this proposal was to avoid wallet gardens. During the lengthy discussion on python-ideas people brought up that some third-party libs indeed subclass from str. They are currently locked out.
Hardly. Libraries that subclass from str will provide their string representation precisely by being (a subclass of) a string. So they don't need the fspath protocol, and can continue to work exactly as now.
This PEP merely provides the same capability for libraries that prefer not to subclass str. Paul
