Its not, I dont use Java either, same reason.

Python comes with Pip, at least the one I use anyway:

You are logically inconsistent then with regards to Python. Your distro might bundle it out of convenience but its not a first party component.

OK, does PHP do that?

Does PHP control nuget packages? No. No they do not. Neither does Python (the python package you linked to is managed by a Microsoft employee).

Seems petty to me. Who cares if it's not first party? It's widely used and is the defacto standard package manager. Is that not enough?
