Not so much down on them, they are just one extra step that's
mostly not needed(in my use case)

Well, I've been using Python since 1998 on Linux, Windows
and MacOS and have yet to find a use for a venv. I've
played with them when they first came out but haven't
actually found a scenario where I've thought "I need
a venv for that!"

But then I'm a sole user, I have 3 or 4 projects going
but only me working on them. I only have 2 Python versions
at any time and the OS handles that just fine without
any venvs.

I've honestly never experienced this "nightmare".
I install stuff and it just works.
