2/ In the past month, 26 billion packages were downloaded from PyPI. Most of that with pip.
I recently landed a PR in pip that cut memory usage dramatically, especially for large downloads. (If the next release of pip breaks, sorry, my bad 😟 ). Technically most of it was in a third party library pip depended on, whose maintainer barely had time to do anything.
There's no blame here, it's just people don't have time. I only did because I was paid to fix this issue.
