I'm not sure that I understand you. The question is if you would only need <Python 3.7> or <Python 3.7 + pip install typing>. If typing is removed from the stdlib, you can still use it in your application. It's "just" another dependency no? Which major (non trivial) application or Python module has zero external dependency nowaday? The only drawback is that we cannot use typing "anymore" in the stdlib itself, since we don't allow external dependency in the stdlib for practical reasons. But as I wrote, we don't use typing currently in stdlib. I'm perfectly fine with the current status of having annotations on the stdlib in a third party project.
