Comment (by westonruter):

 > User agent sniffing is bad.

 In addition to reducing reliance on `wp_is_mobile()` in core, there is
 also a new alternative to `User-Agent` sniffing thanks to Client Hints.
 Supporting browsers (currently ~70%) send a `Sec-CH-UA-Mobile` request
 header with the value of `?1` when it is a mobile device. I've opened
 #59370 to add support for this header in `wp_is_mobile()` as it is more
 reliable when present.
