Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

>>> pd.options.mode.dtype_backend = 'pyarrow'
>>> a = pd.Series([True], dtype="bool[pyarrow]")
>>> b = pd.Series([False], dtype="bool[pyarrow]")
>>> a
0    True
dtype: bool[pyarrow]
>>> b
0    False
dtype: bool[pyarrow]
>>> a == b
0    False
dtype: boolean
>>> c = a== b
>>> c.dtype
BooleanDtype
>>> c.dtype.__module__
'pandas.core.arrays.boolean'

Issue Description

The returned series is using pandas extension boolean typed series instead of arrow typed.

Expected Behavior

I expect the series returned to be using the arrow boolean data type instead of pandas extension type.
