No, that's just the way the py launcher on Windows has always worked in the past. This way you can take a script from a nix system and drop it in Windows and it has half a chance of running through the launcher, from Windows explorer, or by running py myscript.py at the command propmpt. The Py launcher essentially ignores (or used to ignore) the path in the shebang and focuses on what version of Python it should fire up. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
