This is not the case, static support for dataclasses is an import point of motivation.

I've needed this functionality a decade before types became cool again. ;-)

It is hard to support static typing for many third party packages like attrs, since they use a lot of "magic". Believe that attrs has its own validators.

As mentioned, nothing against static typing, would simply like an example without, to show that it is not required.
