At least I can manage Pythons packages without pip (eg. with pacman) and it doesn’t need to compile ~500 packages for a program as complicated as hello world. I can probably compile the kernel faster than most of the small shit rust programs I need on my server.
I can manage it very easily. In fact, I don’t even need to do that because pacman keeps track of dependencies itself and installs those dependencies system-wide automatically. Even python packages.
And practically, just install and use the recommended/required python version.
