Cannot install any plugin using pandas

[GeoDevCo]

What is the bug or the crash?

Attempting to install multiple plugins from multiple different sources that uses the python module pandas. Each one is unable to install and gives "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'" error. Multiple people in my organization report the same issue with v 3.44.6Eur on MacOS specifically.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Go to "Manage and install plugins"
2. Install any plugin that uses the pandas module. So far I have tried the following plugins with the same result: Eurostat downloader, Projekt-Check, Cluster Analysis, Spatial Analysis Toolbox and some custom internal plugins.
3. Receive the error "Couldn't load plugin 'eurostat_downloader' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'"

Versions
