That doesn't seem very smart to me. The advantage of having the packages in a centralized location is that that multiple projects can alias them.

Also this will just pollute your source directories with generated directories and files that shouldn't be there.

PDM also supports centralized package cache like [pnpm] while still keeping project's dependencies isolated.

I don't see why it is a problem, node.js also has node_modules in the project. And __pypackages__ is created with a .gitignore file so you won't commit it accidentally.

Why is node doing bad things a justification for other package managers doing bad things?

I'm not following why storing project scoped things at the project level is a bad thing.
