The benefit is being able to keep your existing maven/npm/pip workflows as well as use the same workflow for both internal and public dependencies.

I still don't see what's different. I can configure pip to look at my git server, so that all I have to do is `pip install my_thing` and it will automatically download all public and private deps. I don't know what you mean by "workflow" in this context but this is just about as simple as can be.

You’re not the target user here. In highly secure environments you can’t just “pip install your-thing”.

Looks like you’re assuming you have some kind of access to any part of the internet you please. I envy you because most tools just work in this case.

Not so on enterprise networks.
