In fact you can, in many cases.
Sage is a huge Python library with many non-Python dependencies.
Historically, the way to make all these dependencies work together was to provide a complete distribution.
Tremendous effort has since been put into modularising it and packaging it for various distributions.
In Arch, Conda, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Guix, Nix, and other distributions, you can install Sage to work with the distribution's Python.
Modularisation efforts are ongoing to make Sage even more modular and easier to install for an existing Python installation.
