This is PEP 668 in action.
https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/
https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/externally-managed-environments/#externally-managed-environments
While annoying the intent here is to stop users from shooting
themselves in the foot by breaking critical system packages.
As you've identified, virtual environments are the "solution"
to this "problem".

If you wish to go back to the old behaviour you can install mask
the EXTERNALLY_MANAGED file.
Cheers,
Matt
