Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Introducing an `apply_shortcodes()` alias for `do_shortcode()` for better
 semantics in the same way [27409] did for
 `get_the_permalink()`/`get_permalink()` makes sense to me.

 Deprecating `do_shortcode()` is probably not an option due to high usage
 in plugins and themes, however having an alias could also be a first step
 towards its eventual deprecation if there is consensus it's worth the
 effort.
