Comment:

 > Finally, low level methods like this serve a specific purpose. They're
 not intended to catch edge cases. That responsibility is on the code that
 uses the method.

 These direct methods introduced some flaky issues very hard to maintain as
 suggested by @peterwilsoncc back in the day. I cannot see the problem of a
 more generalistic solution for this trivial thing.

 > Deprecating this function effectively requires developers to reimplement
 its logic. This leads to duplicated boilerplate and inconsistent
 implementations across codebases.

 It's a very trivial implementation, and deprecated things never fade in WP
 so you can basically keep using it despite you will get the deprecated
 messages in the log.

 The deprecation was for good, and many legacy things still need some
 degree of deprecation yet, but there isn't much time for devs to go
 through all of them.
