That is clear but also isn't sufficient motivation. The proposed change is unnecessary and not rooted in real use cases. It is a semantic change to a long-standing view that callable() means having a __call__ method.

That isn't what Guido intended when he designed the capability checking. He has a remarkably good instinct for avoiding language complexity when there aren't clear-cut benefits.
