Nop, operators are useful as you've said and it is why i am proposing this.

Its more clear and understandable than itertools.product for people from
outside of a programming background. The simplicity is useful when we are
working with multiple expressions at sametime. (cset(a & b) * cset(a | b))
Also there are some benefits of it for external libraries like ORMs. I am
spending most of my time on repl for debugging my models and when i query
something it returns set of values. If i want to get every permutation of 2
different query set i need to import itertools and call itertools.product
every time.
But i am giving up the idea because of not getting enough attention from
community.

itertools.product() is good enough for the occasional legitimate use case
(I think I recall encountering one in the past decade or so).
