The main packages include postinstall script that
use "alternatives" to define for

    /usr/bin/python

    /usr/bin/python3
    /usr/bin/idle3
    /usr/bin/pydoc3

a default to the highest package available.

$ alternatives --display python
python - status is auto.
  link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.12
/usr/bin/python3.9 - priority 39
/usr/bin/python3.12 - priority 312
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.12.

Rationale:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
In other systems as Debian
/usr/bin/python is discouraged.
