I did/do apt install python3-pip and python3-venv and python ensurepip still does not work. But if I do pyenv to build, all of python works well.

There is large gap between too generic goal "can develop" and too specific issue that ensurepip does not work for you. Details related to intermediate level task is missed, so it is difficult to say if it is a real problem or just a bit different way for similar actions is assumed by developers. What you consider as restrictions may help to ensure that other packages can rely on sane enough environment.

Debian bug tracker or mailing list archive may contain discussion why some limitations were added and what approach (venv, etc.) allows to get work done.

/usr/share/doc/python3.*-venv/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/python3/python-policy.txt.gz
May contain some hints.
