You’ve not reported anything actionable. Some stuff doesn’t work from
your script, well so what? Without seeing concrete details, nobody can
tell whether there’s a real behavior change there or just a bug in your
script. Since it all works fine for everyone else, the working
assumption is the latter.

The answer to that has already been posted: if you are in a venv and
don’t want to be, just type ‘deactivate’.

venvs have been around for something like 15 years, so if the problem
was really venvs then dialing back to 2020 is unlikely to make a
difference.
