Ok, but like, were any of them people of note, actively working on the project?
Because it seems like the people who are working on the project aren’t saying that.

The point is that it's much easier to make a mistake typing "requests" than " org.kennethreitz:requests" (as a pure hypothetical.)
It also means that more than one project can have a module called "utils" or "common", which once again reduces the risk of people accidentally downloading the wrong thing.
Sorry what? It's strictly the opposite: more character to type equals more risks to make a mistake.
In fact, in the general case, namespace increase the risk of supply chain attacks, because it makes packages names even less discernable.
