Why do we want to let users use old versions of pip? Is there some specific systems that haven’t updated their pip version for 2 years?

Why should we care?

We should not pin versions unnecessarily because it complicates packaging.

I don't even think pip is necessary here - it should be possible to install all of our packages using any PEP-compliant tool, e.g. poetry.
