What if you download a binary and a dynamic library is missing? (This is what happens with GHC on Alpine. Binaries will expect glibc. Packages fix this problem, but they also fix the Python problems.)
Another example: I recently wanted to run IDA on Arch Linux, but there are no 32-bit Qt5 packages. Compiling Qt5 is more painful than installing Python.
