@aeriforme recently got the confusing problem that openPMD-api was not automatically co-installed with a `pip install openpmd-viewer`. Currently, openPMD-api is opt-in via `pip install openpmd-viewer[all]` or `openpmd-viewer[openpmd-api]`. I think we could either: - make openpmd-api a default dependency (we support it now very widely across platforms) or - advertise the modified pip install scripts in README & docs What do you think? This looks like a leftover from us when we carefully adopted the new backend a few years back.
