The introduction of data classes was prompted by the popularity of the 3rd party attrs library, so the first step would be to achieve that level of popularity. However, with instances being dict instances, there are quite a few attrs/dataclasses features that I expect you would find difficult to replicate (hashability, immutable instances, ordered comparison support), so your library strikes as being more an advanced alternative to types.SimpleNamespace rather than an alternative to data classes.
