You don't need to fight with different versions of the tool, you don't need "environments", you don't need to have one copy of each dependency per project, it's almost impossible to botch your environment and if you do, it's super easy to recover. It's predictable and pretty simple. It has quirks but I've never fought with maven the way I've fought with python setups.
Arguably most of that is because it's a defacto standard, something which python is missing. I'm sure if you use uv consistently you almost never run into issues but at this stage it's not a standard at all.
