This is why I like nvm/pyenv. Available versions should be managed via a tool, not by the system.

This is why I like Nix. The tool should be the system.

Sure, if your tool is aware of its own versions and can do that, that should be the preference over most systems, Nix/NixOS/GUIX excepted. But it's nice for traditional systems like Debian to be able to do it too, for tools that can't.
