If you'd said Java I'd have understood the argument as in Java everything has to be part of an object.

I thought Java was another of these silly languages like Python where not everything is an object, but "everything is an object" is still often claimed?

There's not a whole lot in Python that's not an object - and python is shiny, we like python :)

I guess "everything is an object except the things that aren't" doesn't make teachers and advocates look as good...

Well, yes, that and it'd take longer to explain, and people are lazy.
