If Python was based on Rust, I guess I would not mind, but it is not. Also C is also supported everywhere! And personally I don't see why Rust would be more easy to understand than C. C is really straightforward compared to Rust.
All of that being said, for something as basic and important as a package manager I would except that it is implemented in pure Python so it might easily be hack, modified or fixed without requiring any compilation...
Like most of pip and setup tools were.
Just wait for the moment that you can't update some libraries in your code because UV will not work without being updated, but an updated version binary is not available or you need to fix/backport something, so you need to build it. But unfortunately rust devs will not care supported older systems/os, so you are fucked. And you need to upgrade your whole system just to be able to update a simple application library.
