This. Also, the argument is a bit weird:

- always use python -m pip

- if in venv, it doesn't do any good, but do it anyway for consistency

- you should also use venv

So... Maybe just always use virtual env and then you can use just pip?

While it’s good advice to use a venv for development work, there are a couple of Python packages that you want to have installed globally, such as pip, pipenv or poetry. So I don’t see a contradiction here after all.
