Blindly executing a script is a potential security issue easy to avoid. Describing its potential harness may not only avoid installing malware in case the official URL is compromised but also teach a basic security measure to the readers. I am not sure where this `README.md` is shown, but I think that something like this should be used for all installation instructions. Note: Other methods to install `uv` exist, like Nix, devenv.sh or compiling with `cargo`, but listing all installation methods is probably overwhelming and overkill.
