20+ years of history of incompatibilities between Python versions,
including needing different module versions on older Python versions.
Most systems will have only one Python version installed anyway (modulo 2.7),
so there isn't anything to be shared. But if you need different versions,
a clean split is often much easier, especially when you also need modules
that involve C/Rust/whatever extension modules.
