The thing is not iterable, which avoids accidentally relying on an unpacking API (x, y = ...) which would be a pain to modify (i.e. you can't add another field while maintaining a sensible deprecation).
Of course this is private API so in a sense we could do whatever we want, but as a general rule I think dataclasses are nicer (but note that I went for the "functional" declaration API because I certainly wouldn't want to be the person introducing type hints in the codebase :))

That is a compelling agreement 👍 .
