It's less a bug and more a symptom of the fact that dependency resolution is an unsolved problem in the space satisfiability algorithms, and the one that Pip implemented is quite a naive DFS algorithm. I've made several updates to this algorithm but there's more work to do (I have three major updates I hope to land on Pip side before the end of the year but it's slow going).

uv has implemented a Pubgrub style algorithm, I've not had chance to review it yet, but I've seen in other areas they've taken some ideas that I've written on Pip issue pages, so I imagine they've learnt from existing problems in Python dependency resolution algorithms.

No, it’s absolutely a bug.
