Basically, although --user is available in pip (and the underlying facilities in Python have been around for some time), it's difficult to gauge how many people are using them, and as a result what level of testing has happened in real-life situations. There's probably no way to improve that much other than by making --user the default and waiting for reports of any issues, but feedback like Mike's adds a certain level of confidence that there are no significant problems.
