Nowadays Python has venv in the standard library. The user-specific

While I consider venvs easy and cool, this just moves the barrier for
the users a little bit higher. We (Fedora Python SIG) are fighting users
that run `sudo pip install` all the time (because the Interwebz are full
of such instructions). The users might be willing to listen to "please,
don't use pip with sudo, use --user instead". However, if you tell them
"learn how to use a venv", they'll just stick with sudo.

We would very much like to see --user the default rather than having it
removed.
