That's why it was only deprecated five years ago.  There has been plenty of
time for browsers and tools to catch up.  In practice it is never going
to disappear from browsers, even though it only exists in the standard
because the browsers made it a faite accompli.

Features get deprecated when they *are* used but they are bad features
for which there is an existing better solution.  Unused features are
likely to get dropped much faster.
