[35624] purposely un-deprecated wp_title(), and the oldest five bundled themes still use it. Block themes should not need either wp_title() or add_theme_support( 'title-tag' ), though they still have a bug with network signup and activation pages (#55023).

Of course, the documentation can be corrected and improved. The Codex is severely outdated overall but ​not yet fully replaced. I could remove the wp_title mentions in the ​Theme Development Codex page, but that probably should link to the ​Title Tag page while it remains available there. Or at least I could remove the ​"See why" link to a missing note that was deleted even before redirecting the page in 2015.
