with ensurepip, having pip no installed in a python is getting less

pip is problematic in environments that have their own package manager
(i.e. anything but bare Windows) because it doesn't honor its
conventions (e.g. if it's a non-default Python installation, all its
packages must use versioned or otherwise custom names for executable
modules - see e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40718770/pytest-running-with-another-version-of-python
for an illustration). That's why it's not installed by default in
environments where that's a significant problem.
