>> While pip alone is often sufficient for personal use, Pipenv is recommended for collaborative projects as it’s a higher-level tool that simplifies dependency management for common use cases.

There are many, but it recommends one. I don't think any reasonable person will actually go out and try all 7(?) of them.

Which is basically the same advice. If you don’t already know what you want start with pip and requirements.txt and when you hit pain points: wanting to soft lock transitive dependencies, automate venv setup for onboarding, locking packages by hash, package caching, bundling Python itself with your code, etc. then there’s probably a tool out there tailored to your use-case.
