Python's insistence that it be a system-level utility in one global location, with one global set of libraries, etc. is kind of why we're in this mess of many different ways to install and use python (and the myriad of workarounds like virtual envs, pyenv, pipx, etc.). The official CPython installer is fine for some simple scripting or learning the language, but as soon as you need to tightly control and define multiple different python installs, different versions of libraries, etc. to satisfy different constraints it becomes a huge headache.
