Looking at python from the outside a lot of changes since GvR stepped down seem like stuff he'd not have been fond of.
Moreover, Guido is in favour of ongoing addition of major new features (like pattern matching), worrying that without them Python would become a “legacy language”:

I don't follow python closely so it may 100% be stuff that GvR endorsed too, or I'm mixing up the timelines. It just feels to me that python is changing much faster than it did in the 2.x days.
I think part of the reason Guido stepped down was that the BDFL structure created too much load on him dealing with actual and potential change, so its unsurprising that the rate of change increased when the governance structure changed to one that managed change without imposing the same load on a particular individual.
At least in my case I use it all the time, to avoid duplicated operations inside comprehensions.
If you look at the feature in detail, and especially how it clashes with the rest of the language, it's awful. For example:
The Python community has since matured and realised that what they previously thought of as "one thing" were actually multiple different things with small nuances and it makes sense to support several of them for different use cases.
