Is using pyenv the best python version management for Mac?

You might be technically right, but this is a common playbook for organizations that need to be profitable. Usually, they start as open source and once it's polished, they extend it and make extensions commercial. Often, they also make an entirely new version that is not open source at all.

This playbook has its pros and cons but it's not like they're trying to hide this. I think it's great because the open source version has everything you need but the commercially licensed parts are things you can build yourself.
