The type annotations are only a distraction here; let's give classical 
Python a chance with

- no type annotations
- no class
- dangerous default, for the thrill of it;)

def execute(params={}):
    return [[val + 10 for val in v] for v in params.values()]

Clean and simple.  If you insist on getting dict_values():

def execute(params={}):
    return {k: [val + 10 for val in v] for k, v in params.items()}.values()

The relevant takeaway is: if you don't want to modify a value, don't  modify 
it. Do not wait for a const modifier to save you.
