solution will be to update CI to force downgrade virtualenv:

name: pre-commit

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  pull_request:

jobs:
  pre-commit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: actions/setup-python@v2

# Install venv to avoid issues https://github.com/pre-commit/action/issues/135
    - name: Install virtualenv
      run: |
        python -m pip install -U virtualenv==20.10.0
    - uses: pre-commit/action@v2.0.3

there’s a bunch of choices:

override the entry to set the variable: entry: env SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib reorder-python-imports
since it’s runtime and not installtime you could force an older setuptools: additional_dependencies: [setuptools<60]

the proper workaround should be SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib

I confirm that this also solves the issue
