That can be discussed.

But I would argue that at least __name__, __bases__ and __qualname__ are interesting attributes for the user.  Same for methods like __subclasses__().

Otherwise, it's quite ironic to prevent attributes that allow introspection in the first place from being displayed in one of the main features used for introspection.
