Hi! On the latest version (currently 1.21.8), the latest version of the official launcher does not install the skin. I will add that I tried to install the skin from the profile on http://minecraft.net it has been preserved, but it is not displayed in the game either in the single-player world or on the server. Moreover, if I want to view my profile on the site, then the correct skin is installed, but it is not displayed.
If I try to "apply" the skin I need in the launcher, then the Sunny skin is constantly displayed.
When I click "apply" a new skin from the launcher, it also changes on the official minecraft website, but not in the game.
