i was looking over https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html and there are a number
of items that raise a ? to me but that's all, as i lack the overview knowledge of these..
moreover setuptools 59.6.0 is the last one to work on python 3.6 so we will have to take into account different behaviors (depending on platform + python version)
just skimming trough the list i see a lot of changes after 59.6.0 like:

#2896: Setuptools once again makes its local copy of distutils the default. To override, set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib.
