I think typing shouldn't require any extra typing (ha) on Unix either. I don't remember what the rationale was for having to type "python -m ensurepip" to get pip installed, but typing is just a library, not an executable tool that may be able to mess with the system state, so I don't think it's worthwhile introducing an extra step for it.
