You can abuse dependencies in every language. This doesn't sound like a Python problem but a bad tech management problem (i.e. who signed off on allowing 'randomguy69/left-pad' as a dependency).

With Python it doesn't take abuse. You blink and the bloody thing rots away.

done a few services and CLIs and never had updating deps break anything unless you count newer linters complain about new things.

Any other than JS/node really. But since this thread mentions Common Lisp, its package management system rarely blows up in your face.
