>In Python at least you "only" have to figure out venv, pip and conda and you're mostly set. In C/C++ world adding a dependency is such a pain that most projects have less than five dependencies. Most of the time it's simpler to just quickly write and debug a worse version yourself than to figure out how to find and integrate a library. That's from the developer's perspective, not the user's. The user of a C++ project doesn't have to care about any of that; they just run the binary, or ./configure && make to build from source. The user of a Python project has to struggle through worst case days of pain depending on how many dependencies are randomly broken.
