 Thanks for this, @kafleg!

 I've taken a closer look, and it appears that Twenty Twenty-One is the
 only bundled theme that currently has `Tested up to` in `style.css`
 headers. This was an intentional decision at the time because WordPress
 Core did not yet utilize this header (see comment:5:ticket:48517).

 Since then, [47145] added support for required WordPress versions in Core,
 but `Tested up to` is [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src
 /wp-includes/class-wp-theme.php#L28 still not supported by Core within]
 `style.css` headers.

 I was not able to locate a ticket in Trac to consider adding this support
 to `style.css` files, so this could serve as that. But more work would be
 required, as Core itself must have a reason to add support for this
 header.

 An example of this could be adding "This theme has not been marked as
 compatible with your version of WordPress." messages to match those shown
 when working with plugins.

 > Twenty Twenty theme is missing Tested up to in style.css and this is the
 required thing.

 Can you expand on the "required thing"? Is this now enforced for themes
 residing on WordPress.org? If I recall correctly, that was not the case
 previously (it was a soft requirement/suggestion).
