I get it, but if you are developing on python, you should consider the "OS python" to be a completely separate thing you don't touch. The reason is that programs in your OS are using that python, and if you muck it up, you risk damaging your OS. Updating a package could stop your computer being able to log in (although that risk is only slight).

Developers should be using pyenv or similar (try Anaconda if you want "easy") and preferably one environment per project (so you can lock in library versions for the project).

I'd personally prefer the "OS python" to be more hidden, but I don't know enough about linux/mac inner workings to know if thats even a thing (maybe a libpython instead?).

But it is hard to understand if you aren't working with python all the time. I do basically just python, and still spent several years with outdated Ubuntu-shipped libraries before getting properly setup.
