Comment (by Clorith):

 The bundling of styles would be found in #18909, and it's not that it was
 ever discouraged, but rather that it never got finished, or a good way
 forward was landed on, not was there a final consensus that "this is
 happening", as it was merely a proposal at the time I believe.

 Personally, I don't know if it's even needed in a core context any more,
 since the creation of that ticket, the admin interface had a refresh. The
 old style, pre-MP6 (the codename for the admin refresh), WordPress was
 visually close to how jQuery UI is styled in terms of general aesthetics,
 if not in color scheme, but has since moved forward a bit.

 I'd also note that WordPress it self has made its own implementation of
 most, if not all, of the elements jQuery UI offered at the time. This is
 even more so the case after the implementation of the Block Editor.

 Any plugins or themes using jQuery UI at this point would have bundled, or
 remotely-enqueued, styles aligned to suit their visual impact any way (as
 they would have in the first place as well, using a WordPress backend-
 styled date picker for example, would very likely clash with the styling
 of a theme).
