This is a feature request by a user at https://github.com/python/typing/issues/822.

A copy of their request:
Currently issubclass cannot be used for runtime_checkable protocols with data members, because those attributes could be set in __init__. I propose to relax this restriction to allow protocols with ClassVar members, as those should be present in the class definition.

I'm unsure if I need to update PEP 544 too. I don't remember if PEPs can be updated when 'Accepted', or was it 'Final' PEPs that can't be updated anymore?

IMO we shouldn't update PEP 544. PEPs reflect the historical proposal, they are not documentation for the current state of the interpreter.
