In my old workplace, I overestimated my tasks by 2x. Who was to question me? The PM who hadn't coded in 10 years? My manager who had never used Python before?

Lucky you.. in my experience the answer to your 2 questions is: yes. Having no or outdated experience doesn't stop them from questioning even accurate estimates and attempting to filibuster their way into us lowing them.
