No, it really is unique to python. Most other languages have one or two package managers, not 15 (15 is not an exaggeration). Ruby has one. Rust has one. Java has two (maven and gradle). Elixir has one. Swift has one.
Python programmers think it’s normal when it most definitely is not. Even your IntelliJ example isn’t correct because IntelliJ will literally install and set up the jdk for you, but pycharm is completely unable to do that and it’s not because JetBrains hasn’t tried. Python tooling is just really really really bad.
