It always surprised me that no one complained about the current trend of having automated process or build quasi systematically retrieving packages from public repositories like pypi, debian, GitHub, ... Each time a debian image or something is build, or an automated test or GitHub action is run. Without personal cache.
A decade ago, each company used to have its own cache of all public packages for CI/CD, but it looks like that bo one cares anymore.

Even worse, many of those processes are running an 'apt-get update' (or equivalent), so there's no way to know what packages they'll get each time!
