Also some compiled code might need to be statically linked to other deps.

A practical example: on Windows, try 'pip install tokenizers'.

I was curious what would go wrong, this just worked for me:

py -3 -m pip install tokenizers

...

Building wheel for tokenizers (pyproject.toml) ... done

Created wheel for tokenizers: filename=tokenizers-0.13.2-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl

Looks like if you try to install it via source you might need a compiler/linker toolchain installed for its Rust bindings.
