For me it's my most used super long command line flag.

For a brief moment `--break-system-packages` surpassed it, then I discovered `pip` accepts abbrev flags so `--br` is enough, and sounds like bruh.

You can avoid that clusterfuck using `uv tool install`. E.g. `uv tool install pre-commit`.

It's also not hard to just manage a damn virtual environment yourself.
