My understanding is different. My understanding is that a venv only uses 
packages installed locally in the venv.  It shouldn't default to a 
global package if it is not found in the venv.

(caveat: it may use default site installed packages if told to do so).

This is very much what I would want. I would want my python app to work 
independently of some eccentricity of the machine I develop on. I 
suspect if I were still a developer I would go further and use 
snaps,flatpak, or docker containers.
