A empty dictionary is a dictionary. It has a type. None has no type. Something with a type can't be equal to something with no type.

Because the type is different. Specifically, you can add a pair key:val to a dictionary, but not to a None

In Python, an empty dictionary or any other container(like lists, tuples, sets, etc) always evaluates to a Boolean False value, not None. You can find the detailed explanation here.. https://programmersportal.com/how-to-check-if-a-dictionary-is-empty-in-python/
