When should one use Account and when should one use Keypair from @solana/web3.js?

As far as I take it there is not any difference between them except for the fact that Keypair provides extra methods for the derivation of secret key from a seed phrase.

But it's too slight thing to separate them. Thus, I would like someone to make the reason clear.

You should always use Keypair. Account is deprecated since v1.10.0

See https://solana-labs.github.io/solana-web3.js/classes/Account.html

[deprecated] since v1.10.0, please use Keypair instead.
