That just means the compiler doesn't detect reuse of the same tuple.
But compare:

>>> def f():
    return (1,2,3)

>>> f() is f()
True

Every time the function's called, it returns the same tuple (which
obviously can't be done with lists). And of course if that would be
dangerous, it's not done:

>>> def f():
    return (1,[2],3)

>>> f()[1].append("Hello")
>>> f()
(1, [2], 3)
>>> import dis
>>> dis.dis(f)
  2           0 LOAD_CONST               1 (1)
              3 LOAD_CONST               2 (2)
              6 BUILD_LIST               1
              9 LOAD_CONST               3 (3)
             12 BUILD_TUPLE              3
             15 RETURN_VALUE
