npm default install command always runs if binding.gyp exists, and package install script is ignored

Problem

Is there an existing issue for this? - [X] I have searched the existing issues This issue exists in the latest npm version - [X] I am using the latest npm Current Behavior 1. use npm 7 or 8 2. package.json contains install script 3. project root directory contains binding.gyp 4. npm install results in default npm install command `node-gyp rebuild` running instead of the install script in package.json It works correctly with npm 6. Expected Behavior Expect it to behave as documented: > If there is a binding.gyp file in the root of your package and you haven't defined your own install or preinstall scripts, npm will default the install command to compile using node-gyp via node-gyp rebuild I assume this means: > If there is a binding.gyp file in the root of your package and you have defined your own install or preinstall scripts, npm will run your install and preinstall scripts and not default the install command to compile using node-gyp via node-gyp rebuild Steps To Reproduce 1. Create new directory with new package.json that has no dependencies 2. See canvas has binding.gyp and an install script in package.json. 3. npm i canvas@latest -S --verbose 4. "install": "node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build --update-binary", in canvas package.json is NOt run but should be 5. `npm info run canvas@2.9.3 install node_modules/canvas node-gyp rebuild` is run but should NOT be 6. Behaves the same if canvas is added as a dependency in package.json and run `npm install` [code
