venv is a module in the Python 3 standard library. I don't understand why it would need a separate package on Ubuntu.

Someone who's installing additional packages could just as well install the better-understood python3-virtualenv. But the idea of venv was that it'd be built into Python, so that someone could finally write example code about setting up a Python environment without the "...and here's what you need to do differently on Ubuntu" section.
