This is what I do in 99% of my projects. Or I use a tool like Hatch that creates envs for me, and I can use `hatch run ...` instead of manually invoking the path.

People like to complain about Python, but `./venv/bin/foo` is basically identical to `./node_modules/.bin/foo` and I don't see why the former deserves so much hate.

I think it's because you "have to" run a command to activate the virtual environment AKA use files that are already in the directory. With NodeJS (or any other platform/language), it's implied that the files in your current directory are the files you want to use for building/execution
