Comment:

 `get_taxonomy()` isn't inherently the same concept as retrieving a post
 type and I'm not sure I'd expect it to return anything other than a
 taxonomy object.

 I've opened #34245 to make the `$taxonomy` parameter in `get_term_field()`
 optional now that `$taxonomy` is also now optional in `get_term()`.

 I think leveraging an existing function like `get_term_field()` should
 suffice for this need:
 {{{#!php
 $taxonomy = get_term_field( 'taxonomy', $term );
 }}}
