It’s not that unheard of, for example the flit_core bootstrap documentation says to use it: https://flit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bootstrap.html It also does one job and just one job, which is A Very Good Thing.

Installing a wheel is a glorified unzip, pip brings a lot of baggage that we don’t care about. I should make it clear that this class is not for installing arbitrary wheels, it installs a wheel we just built and in the future will build the wheel too.
