Mr. Random had an interesting point to start this thread, that over-reliance on venvs may have slowed fixes and improvements on the standard tools and distributions. I suspect there is some truth to the assertion.
Arguably, your claim that using your main Python interpreter for everything "almost never" causes you problems would imply that there's no real *need* for fixes and improvements to handle that situation, so work on supporting virtual environments helps people who prefer them, and harms no-one. I suspect the truth is somewhere between the two. Paul
