It's anti lots of things, but I don't think it's anti-Pythonic. Python is about pragmatism & empathy if it's about anything -- bitcoin and such don't factor into it. See: Astral/OpenAI, Anaconda, most of the PSF board historically being employees of big corporate users of python, NVidia's relation to the ecosystem in general, etc.

As a passionate anarchosyndicalist, I, for one, am thrilled about it. Decentralization is a tool in our toolbox for identifying and dismantling unjust hierarchies, but it is not a panacea, and can be quite damaging when taken to the extreme. See: cryptocurrency speedrunning 200y of bank regulations in 20y.

To put my trust for Python in more concrete terms: they support GitLab. As a passionate GitLab shill, I really couldn't be more impressed! It continues to shock me how infrequently the second most popular forge is acknowledged, much less supported. This shows they're not just, IDK, bowing to Microsoft's demands.

Not only don't we, but I must emphasize that Microsoft did not pay for anything involving the implementation of either Trusted Publishing or attestations on PyPI. I wrote a personal blog post explaining some of my own rationale for why we prioritized GitHub and GitLab for PyPI's initial support targets, and it shouldn't be surprising to anybody who knows me that the reasons are pragmatic, not dogmatic[1].
