I think it's pretty rare for people to use staticmethod and classmethod in annotations. But I do think it's generally good for the runtime and typeshed to agree with each other on whether a class is generic, so I'm weakly in favour of this PR. It doesn't really add a maintenance burden, and they've been generic in typeshed for a long time now without complaints from type-checker users. +0.5 from me.

Thank you for the plus.
However, the use of staticmethod and classmethod is found in the dishka library (here). I discovered this defect when I was fixing bugs in mypy

I am also in favor of this PR, since you also have a real use-case it also boosts my confidence. Moreover, the PR is rather simple and understand and maintain.

Thank you!
