To be perfectly clear, I don't think that. I just think its a missed opportunity over the years to better ways of environment and package management. For instance, on the folder auto loading code: make it a feature of only virtual environments. I know python can detect that its in one. Or engage with distros not to build Python to allow this. They already do custom builds with it (its always missing something from a standard Python installation after all).
