Are people really making classes with a single static method and nothing else? It just feels like filler material.

Yes. They probably learned Java first.

+1. I learned Java first, in school and on my own. I needed to unlearn the OOP-first mindset.

This has nothing to do with OOP. A class with a single static method isn't OOP

You can use the 'class' keyword and write your program functionally, or procedurally

So you actually thought you needed, in Python, classes with static methods instead of just plain old modules? What was your first Python "hello world" like?
