Ram Rachum added the comment:

The real problem is that `Counter` was put into the standard library with such 
lenient conditions on how it should be used-- basically looking at it as a 
`dict` subclass rather than a counter, putting emphasis on implementation 
rather than purpose, which was a mistake that we'll now have to deal with 
forever.
