Use of pod and bundle exec pod

[jankosecki]

I've noticed that as part of recent update to CLI, run-ios builds CocoaPods dependencies.

There seems to be a bit of inconsistency because in installPods CLI checks if pod command is available (https://github.com/react-native-community/cli/blob/a856ce027a6b25f9363a8689311cdd4416c0fc89/packages/cli-config-apple/src/tools/installPods.ts#L154C7-L154C18) and shortly after in runPodInstall it uses bundle exec pod install instead.

I can see that some other parts of CLI use pod CLI directly (await execa('pod', ['cache', 'clean', '--all'], and await execa('pod', ['repo', 'update']);) but wouldn't it make more sense to always call pod through bundle exec?

Up until today I didn't need global pod CLI installed on my machine as I was always uses bundle instead
