The Python bundled within QGIS app needs to be used for this.  I have 
QGIS 3.16 on my Mac and the Python is within it is located at 
$QGIS_PREFIX_PATH/bin, which is:

     /Applications/QGIS-LTR.app/Contents/MacOS/bin

I was able to install "boto3" successfully with the following command:

     export QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=/Applications/QGIS-LTR.app/Contents/MacOS
     export PATH=$QGIS_PREFIX_PATH/bin:$PATH
     pip3 install boto3
