It can't, because subclasses of object would then ALSO be writable, and that would break a lot of things. Also, a lot of use-cases for object() just need sentinels, with no attributes, so this would cost them a lot of efficiency. Using SimpleNamespace is the best way to do this, and maybe there's a good argument for making it a builtin (or at least giving it a shorter name), but changing object would be problematic.
