Fair enough. I do prefer the native package manager route when it's an option, but in those cases it's generally handled automatically as a dependency anyways. Really, 99.99% of all manual pip interactions should be happening in some sandbox env anyways. Regardless it's better practice to understand and respect root ops rather than fear them, because sometimes they are necessary.
