What I want to know is if I really need to use npx and would like to know in what cases does npx makes a difference comparing to just running the command.

Personally I think it becomes handy when you just want to test something:
- how does a certain library behave (eg.
npx storybook)? - how fast and what is the behaviour of my frontend build (eg.
npx angular-http-server -p 4200 --ssl --path dist)? - reproduction of a problem with a specific version;
To name just a few use-cases.
Do you really need to run npx? No you haven't, but I think you have to play around with it to develop an instinct when it's useful and when it's not.
