Ahh, I see. So the reason it never bit me on the ass is that I always run pip as a regular user, and it installs just to my local, or to my venv, eh?

Makes sense. I suppose there's less issue if you use pip to install inside a container?

Yes, installing as yourself or using a container is just fine. Installing system wide is generally not recommended
