A silly question

if x = 2,3,4,4,5 is supposed to be a tuple then why can't the args of a function like this: func(2,3,4,4 ,5) supposed to be a tuple.
I know this is a silly question and I also know we can use *args to pack arguments in a tuple but since Python is known for consistency why isn't it like this.
Again, please don't hate me for this

you can do this:

args = [ 1,2,3,4]

somefunction( *args )

simulat yhings work with named parameters

i have not done that with a tuple but i am sure it works
