The version of Python that is shipped with Ubuntu is what is supported for the system. In the case of Focal, that is 3.8. It is fine to install and use Python 3.9 for user applications, but when you run `update- alternatives` to replace the default version of Python, you are now forcing packages that were expecting to use Python 3.8 to instead use Python 3.9.
