Comment (by boonebgorges):

 In [changeset:"42367"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42367"
 `get_the_category_by_ID()` should be taxonomy-agnostic.

 Prior to 4.9, this function was accidentally taxonomy-agnostic in most
 cases.
 The fix in [40979] caused a regression in this function. For backward
 compatibility, we make it explicit that the query is by ID only.

 See #42771.
