System-installed software shouldn't use env, sure; it also knows where Python is, so it shouldn't waste the time searching for it.

But there's a limit to how much you can protect the user from their own attempts to break things.

(That said, I've certainly seen more than a few reports of brokenness that ultimately got tracked down to a user's local installation of python in /usr/local or $HOME, so I mostly agree.)
