When I started using Python in 2008, your app ran everywhere Python did. Period. Any Linux distro, every weird niche OS, OS X, even Windows after installing a single msi.

It also meant that your app could be very small and easy to distribute.

Now, every fucking Python application, no matter how small, basically has to install an entire "distribution" of Python, kept entirely separate from the rest of the system, if for no other reason than there's massive breaking changes every version, they've committed themselves to a new version every two years (I believe), and so you can only use the system Python if you're willing to use a very, *very* narrow window of systems and release versions.

This is the direct result of no longer being able to tell people "No, fuck off" in online spaces without getting targeted and harassed on social media, oddly enough by the people who claim to be against harassment.
