Comment (by manfcarlo):

 The following was written on the other ticket #60025:

 > This is sounding more and more like a `wontfix` situation since the
 previous behavior was both undocumented and unintentional.

 @joemcgill can you explain how this ticket isn't the same with regard to
 "undocumented and unintentional" behaviour? One would expect that
 `switch_to_blog` switches the blog. If it was intentional to keep
 `locate_template` on the previous blog, it would have been documented in
 the [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/switch_to_blog/
 code reference] for `switch_to_blog`, but the only exception listed there
 is plugins. It would be disingenuous to say after so many years that the
 omission was intentional.
