I can see how .pex or shiv's zippaps live at the Pareto threshold where converting a Python app to an 80% (or less...) executable takes only 20% (or less!) of the effort that would be spent re-writing the app in eg C, C++, Rust, or Golang. Still, it breaks my heart to see all this work being done to keep developers employed as "Python developers", instead of leveling them up to a broader programming skillset. It seems as if the industry is investing rather heavily in a local maximum.
But, of course, the market is has information that I don't.
