> isn't `int()` the obvious way "to convert an integer-like thing to an actual int"?

Well sorta, except that it's too lenient, letting in strings, floats, Decimal instances and the like. The strings isn't so much of an issue - it's more the silent truncation with the floats and Decimals that's problematic.
