I'm more concerned that the cross-platform apps I use like Code and QGIS 
look the same rather than conforming to some Windows, Gtk, or Qt ideal. 
It's not a huge deal but I'd be just as happy if Python's venv was the 
same rather than sticking activate in Scripts or bin depending. I suppose 
there is some valid reason.
