This is used when cross compiling binary wheels (e.g., building a macos wheel on a linux build host or vice versa).
Edit: I don't know that there's an actual database served up by the US Gov, but governments control the naming of these things within their own jurisdictions. All of the big mapping products have the ability to serve up different names based on where you're viewing from.

Maybe the only advantage in a particular area (installing)? Because there are many other advantages.
The rich lock file for instance allows for much better cross-platform tooling. I can build a linux Docker container from a macos build host, for example, without VMs or any other emulation - simply using the cross-platform details in uv.lock and the correct tooling. I can even cross-compile numpy and other native wheels (linux -> macos, macos -> linux).
Other locker tools provide similar cross-platform information (Poetry, PDM), but pip is still lacking.
People that actually have aphantasia will know from a lifetime of experiences (like thinking "counting sheep" is a metaphor), but might not know that the condition now has a name or that most others have a different experience.
Weird post. I built IntelliJ protobuf support [1] while at Google like 10 years ago, and it started shipping by default with IntelliJ in ~2021. Maybe that's not considered "modern".
Amateurs. Apple would never allow something like this to happen.
I eventually handed it over to JetBrains and I think it ships by default with IntelliJ now.
