ISTM that typing/annotations have been allowed to drift without a clear end in view, rather like a ship that is steered in one direction by one person, then in another by someone else, with nobody knowing what the destination port is.
I believe the problem is less within the typing community itself (whether static or runtime), but a fundamental conflict between the typing community and what Stephen called the "typing-suspicious crowd". typing in Python has always been hampered by sometimes valid, often unfounded fears that typing is "taking over" and somehow becomes a requirement. For example, PEP 484 made no changes to Python or the stdlib, except the introduction of a new module, often to the detriment of readability and usability of type annotations. And while progress is made slowly (for example with generics in standard collections or the new callable syntax proposal), I'm sure the typing community would love to progress faster and with less obstacles.
