Aside from the fact that the word you want is _fewer_ not _less_ when you are talking about a countables, I suspect this statement is true. But I don't see any relationship between 'forcing people to download their packages' and 'giving users a better experience'. And I see one major use case where forcing people to download their packages simply will not happen. Many commercial organisations have a policy that they, and only they host their own code. And they will not be willing to change this policy even if you convice them that it is in their interest to Open Source some of it, or perhaps the python bindings to some of it. How do we want to interoperate with these people and their code?
