Describe the bug

Literally just running the installation with all defaults and get this:

    ~  curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash

This script is outdated. You can use this guide to install azure-cli with pip: #20476

[balazs-endresz]

If that script is outdated then why hasn't it been removed from the documentation? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli-linux?pivots=script#install-or-update-azure-cli And why is pip not mentioned there at all?

I wonder, I heavily rely on docs to learn cloud but this is disappointing. No fixes whatsoever.
