virtual environments address all these concerns, no?

  Absolutely not. A virtualenv is typically a pointer to a systemwide python, or something managed by yet another piece of crap - chpy, asdf, whatever - they are not self contained. Upgrading the system python will typically break the virtualenv.

    Anything, even a statically linked binary can run into problems if you upgrade the entire OS..

      Not really on linux. I mean if you upgrade from x11 to wazland and zour app depends on x11 then sure, but I still use binaries that were compiled in 90s (some because I dont have the source) And windows is also very backwards compatible.
