Unity now provides the LocalKeyword and GlobalKeyword APIs which are more performant than ShaderKeyword. It is best practice to use these APIs instead.

Additional resources: LocalKeyword, GlobalKeyword, ShaderKeywordSet, Shader.EnableKeyword, Shader variants and keywords, Declaring and using shader keywords in HLSL.
