Consider someone who's downloaded Python and PyCharm (or Visual Studio). They want to get the benefit of the IDE code completion facilities, so they declare their argument as List[int], following the information they've found on how to declare lists of integers.

The PyCharm I know is capable of detecting such simple types on its own, without type hints.

I for one like the idea of a faster evolution of typing.py.

PS: pip is pretty standard these days, so I don't think it's much of an issue for guys who really needs it installed.
