To be honest, the number of apps installed with python isn't really that high so you can get away with it most of the time. I like the fact that pipx solves the problem so I just do it once and forget about it.

The real problems start when people write scripts and notebooks etc that use libraries that might just happen to be installed or, even worse, install new libraries. The only solution to that is often a scorched earth approach where you vow to never install anything outside a venv again.
