Nothing you mention is unique to Python. C# (for example) has all of that. And no there is no agreement in “the community”. Just look at the very long dynamic vs. static typing discussions we have all the time on HN.
And if you think that typing a few fewer characters will make you more productive then we clearly don’t agree on what it means to be productive. Programming is not about typing fast :)
And pick any two random developers using the same programming language and you will probably find that they vary dramatically in productivity.
And please don’t worship Google developers like they are made of magic fairy dust. I have worked with people who ended up joining Google and they were OK but not great developers.

So no it is very far from being obvious.
