Python - getting started - Python extension not activated

[lszomoru]

Testing #16796

The Python extension should activate when you click on either of the tiles

Repro steps:

1. Open VSCode (do not open any folders)
2. Open the Welcome page
3. Click on the Getting started with Python development or Getting started with Python for Data Science items.
4. From the command palette invoke the Show running extensions command

Expected:
Based on the information in the TPI, the python extension should be activated and running

Actual:
Python extension has not been activated

It looks like the extension is getting activated when you click on the Select Python Interpreter button.
