Non-local versions of torch are only available for linux(/mac) aarch64

When checking https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torchvision/ for e.g. 0.24.0 on Python 3.12, the following list of wheels is available for non-local (no +) versions:

torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl
torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl
torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl
torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl
torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl
torchvision-0.24.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_28_aarch64.whl

This caused resolution problems for uv users on x86_64 linux (astral-sh/uv#16386), I'm not sure if that's intentional? It also seems that the manylinux_2_28_aarch64 wheels are duplicated.

Another user reported a different problem with https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128 in the uv discord (https://discord.com/channels/1039017663004942429/1039017663512449056/1430596302764249100):

Resolved 176 packages in 22ms
error: Distribution `torchvision==0.25.0.dev20251012 @ registry+https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu128` can't be installed because it doesn't have a source distribution or wheel for the current platform

hint: You're on Linux (`manylinux_2_35_x86_64`), but `torchvision` (v0.25.0.dev20251012) only has wheels for the following platform: `manylinux_2_28_aarch64`; consider adding your platform to `tool.uv.required-environments` to ensure uv resolves to a version with compatible wheels

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional, I wanted to discuss how we can improve the user experience either on the torch side or on the uv side.
