I need to install software as quickly as possible. My job isn't to install software, it's to create things with software. The installation time isn't productive. So why does my package manager need to auto-update itself for 1-2 minutes every time I use it, forcing me to wait unnecessarily long and taking me out of my workflow?
Do I need to? Not really, but I certainly want to. I absolutely hate waiting and there's no reason why it cannot be done as fast as my internet speed allows.
I guess it can save you a few billable minutes with CI runners, but otherwise speed probably isn't a huge deal for most users.
