The accessibility of a thread-local variable is a strict superset of

Therefore storing the thread state in a thread-local variable is at

And by that logic, globals are even more capable. I don't understand
your point. Isn't the purpose of the tstate parameters to avoid the
problem of being unable to have multiple tstates within the same OS
thread? I think I've missed something here.
You haven't. Separating the Python thread from the "physical" thread is
indeed the point.
