For running scripts on my personal computer I really don't care for all the dependency management stuff. I just want a single, globally installed latest version of a library, like what pip does. I've never had the problem of an old script breaking, I guess because I just don't run that much software. These things for writing out explicit versions of everything and reinstalling libraries for every single project just add a lot of overhead, extra typing and an extra layer of complexity that I don't care for. I like just typing "pip install requests" and then being able to do "import requests" in any REPL or script for the next few years, occasionally running a Bash alias to upgrade all dependencies (which is a feature that pip incredibly still doesn't have, 14 years later).
I can see how if you've had issues with dependencies you would rave about systems that let you control down to the commit what an import statement actually means, but I like the system that requires the least amount of typing/thinking and I imagine I'm part of a silent majority.
