Knowing that, you're a step away from creating a "subshell" solution
for *yourself*. For POSIX systems, that would be:

venv-shell.sh:
----
. $1/bin/activate
/bins/sh
----

Voila!

If you want to add "--shell" switch to "python3 -m venv" with that
functionality, to benefit the whole mankind, not just yourself, I'm +1.
I'd say, you can start writing a patch for that. But I'd warn you that
it likely will be rejected, as it will require a bunch of sustained user
support (i.e. it won't work as expected on various OSes and various
shells).
