Comment (by westonruter):

 As commented on the PR:

 Here is another set of instances where this same issue will.occur:
 https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AWordPress%2Fwordpress-
 develop+%2Fesc_html%5C%28+get_the_title%5C%28%2F&type=code

 This doesn't catch cases where `get_the_title()` is stored in a variable
 and then later echoed.

 I think it would sense to change the scope of the ticket to address this
 issue for all these cases.

 An AI search should be able to find more instances, such as for the
 privacy policy link on the login screen.
