I don’t actually believe my last Linux install came with a system Python. And as a Python developer I always end up using some tool or another to manage installations of multiple Python versions anyway. Furthermore jq just works as a classic command-line tool.

impossible to understate the value in: not frequently fucking up your ability to run the critical/mundane/everyday/musclememory commands you've come to rely on after maybe 100+ invocations/week as far back as you can remember just because someone you've never met wanted to bump the .ruby-version in your java monorepo
What Linux distro do you use that it doesn't have Python on it?

Ubuntu but I think the same was true for Arch.
What? Half of Ubuntu's internal stuff is written in Python. They've switched to Python 3 but I've never heard of Ubuntu without Python.
