This phrasing sounds contradictory to me. The whole idea of scripts is that there's nothing to install (besides one standard interpreter). You just run them.

By that logic, you don't install an OS, you just put the bootloader and other supporting files on your storage medium of choice and run it

and yet without fail, when I try to run basically any `little-python-script.py`, it needs 14 other packages that aren't installed by default and I either need to install some debian packages or set up a virtual environment.

Its up to the programmer whether they use external packages or not. I dont ser the problem with setting up a venv, but if this is packaged correctly you could do uv run.
