It would not be impossible for the ensurepip call in the Windows installer to set the --default-pip flag, if that gives a better user experience on Windows.

I'm not wedded to either answer myself, but given that versioned executable names are uncommon on Windows, I can easily imagine a series of bug reports saying "I asked for pip to be installed, and it's not there". Making a deliberate decision one way or the other and documenting it seems like the minimum reasonable approach.
