If installed, the app distribution has an appexec link for "python3.exe" that actually works.
C:\Python38>dir Volume in drive C has no label. [snip] Note there is no python3.exe binary.
You can manually copy or symlink python.exe to python3.exe in the installation directory and venv "Scripts" directories. However, it will only be used on the command line, and other contexts that search PATH. Currently the launcher will not use it with a virtual "env" shebang. The launcher will search PATH for "python", but not "python3".
