What do those systems do that UV/PyPi doesn't?

Usually arbitrary binaries stuffed in Python wheels are mostly self contained single binaries and such, with as little dynamic linking nonsense as possible, so they don't break all the time, or have dependency conflicts.

It seems to consistently work really well for binaries, although it would be nice to have first class support for integrating npm packages.
