It’s well known in the Haskell world that type class instances cannot be overridden. When you have an instance in scope, you are stuck with it. Is this a feature? Is this a bug? Maybe either depending on the problem you are facing. I have my own opinions, but let me lay out the case for wanting to be able to override instances.
