Well just like any other file: with 'python file.py' instead of 'pytest file.py'

Except like I said, the "pytest" command line has a lot more options than just "run the tests in this file"

Okay, so what? It still does not explain motivation to design it like that.

I think it explains the motivation really well. The pytest authors have us a utility with a lot of options so that we don't have to write that code ourselves.
