Some discussion on (ab?)using pypi to distribute binaries - https://discuss.python.org/t/use-of-pypi-as-a-generic-storag...
Wherever you fall on that debate (I have my opinions but they are not strongly held), a bigger red flag here for me is the `pip install ...` opener. The fact they later have a `uvx ...` example in the docs just makes defaulting to pip even worse.

As that comment mentions:

> 5 years ago [...] Python packaging was a big mess.

> Today [...] I think Python's packaging story has never been stronger.

Poetry, & later Uv, are essential & invaluable milestones in that revolutionary story; Pip is terrible software & should be left in the past.

Python world has moved to uv from pip, at least that's the direction.

why would you use the worst package manager instead of the better ones?
