Numpy is simply a package that enhances Blender, but is not required for
the core functionality of the application. Additionally, the official
way to install Numpy in 20.04 and later is:

sudo apt install python3-numpy

which should give you what you need. However, this functionality is not
required for all people, so in an effort to keep installations minimal,
this is something that will not be changed.

Title:
  numpy not included with blender package

Status in blender package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Blender 2.79 comes with Python package numpy by default.  However it
  is not included in the distribution through the package manager.  I
  initially asked a question, however the immediate answer to the
  question was to report the bug.

  More detail:

  specifically, I'm beginning to use "Animation Nodes", but I can't
  activate the add-on giving me the error: "...Animation nodes requires
  the numpy package.  Unfortunately the blender build you have does not
  include it.  Please download... " blah, blah.

  After a bunch of googling around I was not able to find a good
  solution.  I also ran into problems actually downloading blender
  directly - Kubuntu is giving me grief for some other issues.

  So i decided to raise the issue with you - the source of the package,
  and ask that you include it.  I realize there is probably a good
  reason why you removed it from blender, however it really needs to be
  included so that we can use community developed add-ons.

  If there is an official workaround, please let me know.  Perhaps there
  is a way to force blender to use the system-wide distribution?? (which
  I've updated completely - great for using python - but animation nodes
  are still having issues)

  Thanks for taking a look!
