That may be true. I don't know.
Can anyone provide some realistic use cases? I've read the whole thread
and I can only recall at most one, viz. the default value is expensive
to compute and may not be needed. But that is a good time *not* to use
a late-bound default! (The sentinel idiom would be better.) Anything
can be used inappropriately, that doesn't make it bad per se.
I don't wish to disparage anyone's motives. I am sure all the posts
were made sincerely and honestly. But without examples (of how deferred
objects would be useful), if *feels to me* (no doubt wrongly) as if
people are using a fig leaf to fight against this PEP.
