This is also true for "pip install --user", at least on the systems I'm 
familiar with. There are options to disable 'user site packages', but it's 
enabled by default.

It's more annoying for scripts - on common Linux distributions, the user 
scripts location ~/.local/bin is not on PATH by default.
