 As I commented in my Test Report, you are not solving the issue, you are
 just hindering it.

 If you do this, for example, with your patch:

 http://localhost:8889/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug=test-
 post&ignore_sticky=false

 It will return the post "test-post" **and** all the sticky posts. This is
 not the expected behavior.

 Sticky posts are meant to be shown just on listing queries, not on
 individual records queries.
 And sticky posts should be displayed by default on listings, unless
 explicitly specified with the given filter, not the opposite.
