It really isn't. You can definitely download code into Scriptable and Pythonista, although I don't think they have package managers.

You've just said it. The difference is the package management. What Apple is defending here is the notion of a store around apps/containers. Apple does not want to provide leaks/wedges into other app ecosystems through native apps. Safari is the only way.

Not out-of-the-box, but users have created scripts that bootstrap package managers into those apps similarly to how iSH users have.
