Caveats

logic_level_v=3.3 added by audit from the Pico datasheet (not stated on the product page). Specs apply to the Pico 1 series; wireless (W/WH) variants differ (operating temp -20 to +70 C, radio). Operating temp -20 to +85 C applies to Pico/Pico H only. Pico 2 alternative_to relation is inference from the page's Related products list ('our next-generation microcontroller board').
