Applications and services don't necessarily have a setup.py file - setup.py is more for pip-installable libraries and frameworks (see https://caremad.io/posts/2013/07/setup-vs-requirement/ for more on that topic). Since the section is titled "Quickstart", it seems reasonable to gloss over the fact that there are options other than requirements.txt, especially as folks that have already gone to the effort of learning how to make their software pip-installable are also likely to have worked out how that impacts where you specify your dependencies.
