On Debian, if you try to remove an essential package (which would be really 
bad as a rule), the system won't stop you, but you get this:

You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

And you have to put in the entire phrase.

If pip did something like that for system level installs, I doubt most of us 
would object to it anymore.
