Well, it is more than a handful, that was the only point.

You seem to be conflating Anaconda with the conda ecosystem. This package is from conda-forge, which is a community project sponsored by Anaconda but otherwise unrelated to it.

I couldn't care less for Anaconda, but with conda-forge and pixi there is a decent general purpose and language-agnostic package management tool for development purposes in the conda ecosystem.
