Why does feather need pyarrow? (or: How to load feather data without downgrading to pandas 24?)

I get this error message: Missing optional dependency 'pyarrow'. Use pip or conda to install pyarrow. when I run a simple command to load feather data, ie: pd.read_feather("data.feather").

Surely I can install pyarrow from conda-forge, but that forces a downgrade from Pandas 25 to Pandas 24. That does not make sense to me.

I want to keep Pandas 25 and load feather files. How to proceed?

The Conda's version of pyarrow does not work properly. Uninstall it and then install it again via pip (the current version is 0.15.1 vs 0.13.something of Conda) - it works fine with Pandas 25.x
