I figured that was too close to "pip install", not to mention the actual phrase "install pip". There are also multiple ways to install pip - the new bootstrap will just be the simplest. "extractpip" is a bit clunky, but it does exactly what it says on the tin and should be a hidden implementation detail the vast majority of the time. I also believe that choice of name may help avoid the problem of users expecting a global pip update to implicitly affect future virtual environments. > Naming things is hard.
