because it uses existing interpreters on the target host, fixed locations only happen in a homogeneous environment. Most IT shops commonly have to deal different OS/Distrbutions/Versions so the same way you cannot have just 1 tshirt size for everyone you cannot have 1 interpreter path. I'm saying 'interpreter' instead of Python because you can create modules in any language, Ansible only ships with Python ones, but Perl, Ruby, etc modules exist also and usable by Ansible.
