I know. I've watched "Yes Minister" and listened to The Highly
Esteemed Goon Show, both of which (being comedy shows) are highly
accurate representations of Parliament.

So've I, but I don't try to tell the Scheme folks that they need to
change the language. You can have an opinion - but it doesn't make it
worth anything. I have opinions about democracy vs monarchy, about
bacon vs vegetarianism, about Mac OS vs Windows, and about which
Doctor is the best. (Okay, I don't have much of an opinion on the
latter, since there are a number of Doctors that I actually haven't at
all seen. So sue me.) If I try to use a Mac and spend all my time
complaining that it doesn't work the way OS/2 does, will Apple take
notice and change their product, or will people just shout me down for
not learning to use the device how it was meant to be used?

Because that's what's happening here. You're expressing your opinions
- and that's fine. But the response is frequently "play to the
language's strengths", because you don't understand Python enough to
know where to best use its features.
