The CPython source contains lots of shortcuts like that. Perhaps the

internal types were not subclassable.
I don't know if it's a good "fix" anyway. If you subclass an internal
type, you can certainly supply your own rich comparison methods, which
would (IMO) put the CPU computation burden where it belongs if you
decide to do something goofy like subclass a list and then override
__len__.
We're all consenting adults, that's the Python philosophy, isn't it?
If I decide to make stupid things, it's my fault. I don't see why Python
should have to prevent that.
