Your appeal to absolutes reeks of immaturity, lack of experience, and cargo-cult reasoning.
On the contrary, if it rarely to never happens compared to the effort involved, it's not "reckless" at all, but a tradeoff. The site package folders are a simple path of files/folders, not hard to reason about. Nothing gets "hosed" without your participation. No need to live in mortal fear. In other words the cure is as bad as the disease.
The truth is that venvs are a hack with a lot fewer use cases now that user packages at the low-end and containers at the mid/high-end are now ubiquitous.
Honestly newbies would be a lot better off just avoiding venvs entirely. I make an exception for pipenv when appropriate since it hides the complexity as well as possible.
