Again, I want to point out that the problem description in that ticket seems to
only apply for LO 7.0 or earlier, from my personal experience.

Why did you do this?  get-pip.py is the filename of the script, not a python
module name.  And -m requires a module parameter to follow.  This would never
work, not on LO's bundled python, nor on the official python.org installation.

You should invoke the script directly with "python.exe get-pip.py", like you
did below.

> C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program>python get-pip.py
> Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Why did this happen?  Did you run the command above with an ordinary user
without administrative privileges?

> Collecting pip

> Installing collected packages: pip

And here the script warned you that you are installing pip inside your home
directory, which is normally not checked by LO's python.exe.

> Successfully installed pip-21.2.4

The get-pip.py can be placed in any folder, just make sure to run it with LO's
python.  For example
  > "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\python.exe" get-pip.py
can be done from any folder that contains get-pip.py.

Also make sure you run it with an admin account (or at least an account that
can write to C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\), and things should go smoothly.
