What does this tool provide over an in-project .venv/ directory created by venv and populated by pip from an etc/pip/requirement.txt file containing all the packages by version?

There seems to be a lot of activity in this area for a seemingly solved problem. Having solved it, people appear to wish to expand the problem to something bigger (such as multiple interpreter versions, for example)

I believe the most-common case to be: 1 Choose python version and install on operating system., 2 create .venv/ directory. 3, install packages from package system (pip)., 4 freeze versions to local file. 5 use installed .venv/ and do work.

I've got some scripts I use for the above [1] -- must give it some TLC, and I don't understand why people furiously want more than this.
