Yeah I don't get the trend to install it with brew since it's so easy to use the official installer.

  Package managers will keep your Python up-to-date automatically.

    Sure but it's very rare to update python on the desktop (not on the server). Installing a new version in parallel is common, but once you get a 3.x rolling, you seldom have the need for a 3.x.y unless you encounter a bug or are very security conscious. On the other hand, installing xcode is really a pain.

      I try to keep the version of Python my personal computer is using up-to-date; I don't think this is a particularly uncommon thing?

        It really is. Like backups. Or unit tests. Good pratices != common practices.
