Perhaps if QGIS embedded its own Python installation such as is done by the
Blender folks. But as long as QGIS is using Python distributions that comes
with the system, I think I would get annoyed and confused if there were two
different versions of a module running around---one of which I did not
install myself.

The Pip package manager makes it easy to install, remove and manage Python
modules:

Perhaps you would find it helpful.
