The issue isn't when you get what you're wanting. The issue is when either you accidentally get something you didn't want (such as type-o squatting - a not too distant issue on PyPi) or a package was published maliciously (imagine bumping a patch version and it being compromised) - a few fairly recent issues on npm.
I agree that the happy path is ideal and hopefully the common case. Regardless, anything with access to production secrets for my team is run on the most minimal image possible (and none of those secrets are available during dependency installation and compilation).
