The reason this works is that the PYTHON_TARGETS are maintained in the
portage profile. You will almost always need a python2 and at least one
python3, and portage automatically keeps them update date. It works much
like regular dependencies, things you need get pulled in so you don't
have to worry about them. ebuilds with special needs about python
versions declare what they needs and portage does the necessary.

When you manually set these things in make.conf, you override the heavy
lifting the devs already did for you and often it doesn't work out right.
