Why would I? Does it offer something that standard python tools doesn't? Why uv over, lets say, conda?
If you haven't spent 5 minutes trying it out, you don't know what you're missing.
If you're worried about getting addicted like everyone else, I could see that as a valid reason to never try it in the first place.
Other than speed and consolidation, pip, pipx, hatch, virtualenv, and pyenv together roughly do the job (though pyenv itself isn’t a standard python tool.)

Support for Python standard packaging specifications and consequently also easier integration with other tools that leverage them, whether standard or third party.
