You probably want to set `package-install-upgrade-built-in' to non-nil,
or use the package menu to install packages.
Sure. But only in Emacs >=29 and it is not mentioned on the ELPA page.
For Emacs <29 ELPA instruction simply does not work - attempting to
follow it will just produce unhelpful message that package is already
installed.

Is that a problem with the command or with the expectations?

When Org is built-in, it *is* already installed, isn't it?

You will also see the same message if you try to use 'M-x package-install' as a means to upgrade any other already-installed package, whether it is built-in or not.
