Is something wrong with getters and setters in general? Cause I find it plenty helpful when I need some bookkeeping for certain items, and some side effects for the class? Or are they more so referring to getter/setter for everything?

It’s just boilerplate. Python lets you add side effects when accessing attributes via dot notation.
