For interpretable programming languages (e.g. Python), non-docker setups may be too difficult to maintain so developers simply don't bother. Any OS update on the user side may break their setup. Any library update on the maintainer side may break some user's setup. It never ends.

@caohuak @silverpill This is one of the reasons why I removed the Pleroma Arch install guide many months ago :D It is simply too much of a footgun to officially support. I've seen multiple instance die from specifically this.

Rather famous example was an admin posting "Oh a new PostgreSQL version in Arch.", and 10 minutes later an error page talking about database corruption and that the instance is never coming back.
