It ships with intel MKL optimizations for e.g numpy/sciy. That’s a lot of hassle to get working in a virtualenv, not to mention maintaining several!

MKL is also multicore parallelized out of the box.

Isn't that working on the Mac ootb as well? If I install numpy it links it against https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accelerate which is very close to MKL/OpenBLAS performance.

There are also tons of other libs that apple don’t have equivalents for. E.g GDAL, libgfortran, and lots of others.

Not sure if Accelerate is multicore ootb?
