Okay, I think I have finally spotted theroot cause.

#
drwxr-xr-x 2 pipewire nogroup 120 24 sept. 21:31 /var/run/pipewire//

And indeed, /usr/lib/systemd/system/pipewire.service which defines this
directory does specify to which group it belongs. We have:

User=pipewire

but no Group= line.

Adding

Group=pipewire

just below the previous line fixes the issue, after a reboot or restart
of the associated service.
