I speculate that the group of users that are both A: Willing to install something beyond Pip for package management, and B: aren't willing to install a proper dependency resolver (uv, etc) is small.
If you are willing to use a third-party package tool (big leap), I think it's a small step to use one that fixes all of pip's limitations, vice a single one.
