Actually, I like encapsulating global state in a structured and documented construct. But I guess I could see Java developers going overboard with abstraction in an imperative language.
I think, the point is that in Python (like Rust) that construct is a module. In Java, a module does not exist in that sense. You put everything into classes in Java and static classes, i.e. singleton objects, are what you use instead of modules…
