Agreed. Genuine beginners just install Python, then use it. If they
install extra packages, they want them to be available to all of their
scripts.


Agreed.

python *use*, I try to use a single environment (the default miniconda one)
for everything. Most of the time, that's enough. I suppose that makes me a
genuine beginner :-). Being able to conveniently installing a package into
the current environment from within any interactive interpreter would
definitely improve the beginner experience, I would say.
