Let's leave poor writelines alone. It's an old API, if you want something different, there are a zillion other ways (e.g. print(*x, sep="\n") ).

I wonder how much research the OP did before they claimed "writelines is a very big misnomer to many python developers".

I'm not sure about the name 'end'. The 'print' function has 'end', but
it's printed only at the end(!); .writelines would write it after every
line.
