IIRC, ensurepip by design doesn't go to the internet , so it will only ever upgrade to the version bundled with Python (from the docs "To ensure the installed version of pip is *at least as recent as the one bundled with ensurepip*, pass the --upgrade option" [emphasis mine]). To get the latest available version, you should do `python -m pip install --upgrade pip` (better than `pip install...` as it works on Windows) as you mentioned.
