FWIW, I am one of those power users that develop python applications and
prefer the simplicity of a single environment. In my personal experience,
installing using `sudo pip` (or user pip, which I don't do at all) is not a
frequent operation for users that choose to manage a single environment.
Personally, I use it only after searching in apt and confirming the package
is not there. Having to type --break-system-packages every time when I have
to do it is a good solution for me that I find completely reasonable.

Thank you!
