The whole premise of uv that you don't need to know that you can install specific python version using eg pyenv (`uv python install` or `uv run` may do it implicitly), you don't need to know about `python -m venv`/virtualenv (`uv venv`), or how to create lock files pip-tools / pipenv / poetry / etc(`uv lock`), or pipx (`uv tool install`) or `pip install`/ `pipenv install`/`poetry add` / many others (`uv add`), or how to build artifacts setuptools / hatchling / poetry way / etc (`uv build`). Other commands such as `uv sync` didn't break new ground too.
`uv format` is similar (you don't need to know about `ruff format` / black / yapf ).
All actions listed in your first paragraph, except for installing specific Python versions, are actions related to the area of packaging. Doing it in one tool is completely sensible. I'm not a fan of uv managing Pythons, but I guess that ship has sailed.
But formatting code is a completely new area that does not fit uv.
