Looks like @svenevs wrote the original patch, maybe he has a better idea what's going on?

Hey there 🙂 Response from a phone, actions/runner-images#11545 (comment) back when we added the hacks it was because the brew python and GHA python would stomp on each other, IIRC because drake does brew upgrade it would find symlinks it didn't recognize and fail.

I believe it also only happened when there was a new python involved but don't really recall.

It appears that they might have fixed this problem for the GHA runners based on the linked comment so could be safe to remove?

If it pokes it's head up in a few months during a python upgrade, then just bring it back. But ideally they've fixed it and the hack can just go away forever. Hope that helps some!

Thanks for providing context!

I had opened this as a draft to see if it'd be feasible to remove, and am mostly trusting in the CI result paired with the linked issue comment.
