That's probably because you created the venvs with "python3.11 -m venv ...".
The symlink points to the command you used to create it:
% python3 -m venv venv
% ll venv/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 7 Aug 29 2022 venv/bin/python -> python3*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 12 Aug 29 2022 venv/bin/python3 -> /bin/python3*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 7 Aug 29 2022 venv/bin/python3.10 -> python3*
% python3.10 -m venv venv
% ll venv/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 10 Sep 28 00:45 venv/bin/python -> python3.10*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 10 Sep 28 00:45 venv/bin/python3 -> python3.10*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 hjp hjp 15 Sep 28 00:45 venv/bin/python3.10 -> /bin/python3.10*
