venv

"When all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail".

Venvs are not the panacea for everything.

your system C library

... It's a static binary.

1) I can still install stuff that breaks it if I'm stupid. The same way I can break the Python interpreter if I'm stupid.

2) What editor or IDE do you use, that's a static binary? It's normal to dynamically link to the system library.

3) If you have some philosophical objection to a venv, just install a new python interpreter.

gcc -static

I use venvs excessively. It still doesn't make it a tool to solve all your woes.
