There is an option to install Python to PATH on Windows if you check the
appropriate box during installation, but that's not really the way Windows apps
typically work.
I realize why that was done, to help out newbies, but it is not what I want
at

As I said, you can install Python to PATH on Windows if you choose.
Was pretty sure I did that and just checked.
Here is the result, backwards from Ubuntu, if you'd like to run Python3:
