The point remains that these situations exist where it is simply impossible to run 'pip install xyz' due to network restrictions. I know this firsthand because I have written software for enforcing total internet blocks. Pushing Python to a pip-only module will preclude its use in such situations. Again, this is not hypothetical. This is the software world I deal with every day.
