 The new class/method WP_Term_Query->parse_query() does not provide a
 filter like the old function get_terms() does. Using WP_Term_Query
 directly has thus different functionality from using the old wp_terms
 function.

 Using a plugin like:
 https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-taxonomy-order-ne/
 with a custom term_order field and sorting based on that, gives the
 default sort based on name.
 Adding a filter to the method like get_terms, provides backwards
 compatibility for plugin and theme authors, that are switching to
 WP_Term_Query directly.
 This filter gives options to apply a custom order to the list of terms.

 Reference on support forum:
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-reorder-when-using-
 wp_term_query/

 If adding a filter is somehow not wanted by core devs, then I will have to
 answer to add this filter manually to the code when support requests are
 coming. To be clear, I would consider that a valid response.
