Teams that have used JWTs extensively reach for JWTs. Teams that have configured OAuth2 once and survived it reach for OAuth2. Teams that want something simple reach for API keys. Each choice reflects a different problem being solved, and using the wrong mechanism for the problem introduces either unnecessary complexity or genuine security gaps.</p>
