Python doesn't have lvalues in the way that C++ and Rust do. You can't refcount everything and still pass lvalues to subobjects. If lvalues to subobjects are important, you need borrow checking.

Yes, which is why I mentioned C# "ref" which is not refcounting but zero-overhead pointers with a simplistic borrow checker that covers most practical scenarios.
