Thank you for bringing this one in. Unfortunately, too many edge cases would be expensive to cover. This extension goal is to allow developers to create virtual environments after cloning a repo. When Microbamba is already installed in the path, we don't want to have a dependency on the extension. Instead, we have an independent instance of Micromamba in the extension we fully control. Nevertheless, one can activate the external virtual environment with "Micromamba: activate environment by path"
