I didn't dig into the underlying cause, but I can verify your experience, I had
similar things happen under Alma Linux 9.
Installation works fine under a non-root account.

Subject: [ccp4bb] CCP4 v9 installation issue
Dear community,
I am running into an unexpected problem while trying to install CCP4 v9
on a RHEL8 workstation.
The installer (run as root) complains about missing write permission for
the target directory (a subdirectory of /usr/local), which is simply not
true. Both standard Unix permissions and SElinux settings are as
expected (and as used successfully in the past).
Is it possible that for some reason the v9 installer erroneously checks
with the (non-root) user running the graphical interface, instead with
the user actually running the installer?
Best regards
Oliver Weiergräber
