> There are typed dicts where you specify field names and the respective key types

The only way to achieve this that I'm aware of is PEP 589: subclassing TypedDict. Which I believe negates the argument in the post.

I don't think using TypedDict to create a type hint is against the spirit of the post.

Although reading a lot of what has been written here, it seems people aren't really getting the spirit of the post in the first place.
