 Currently, the docblock for
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_categories/ page
 says


 > If you change the type to ‘link’ in the arguments, then the link
 categories will be returned instead. Also all categories will be updated
 to be backward compatible with pre-2.3 plugins and themes.


 The type argument has been deprecated so it shouldn't really be suggested
 since it will throw a notice in development if used.

 I'll attach a patch with the proposed change.
