 Looks like it was intentional after all, as explained in
 [https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/pull/216/commits/08084f94e7a300d7281a89b13f4e1e8ba055ae4b this
 commit], later included in [41648]:

 > **Rework feature filters in core and dettach from .org API**
 > Place subject filters first, then features, then layouts. Aggressively
 remove tags from the list that do not provide significant value to the
 average users. Reasons for removal include: tags that apply to most
 themes, tags that apply to few enough themes that (roughly) more than half
 of the results are themes abusing the tag list that should not have the
 tag, tags that are confusing or unclear to a typical user, tags for
 features that most themes provide. Detach the .org API from the theme list
 and only use the list provided in core; we can reconcile the core and .org
 feature lists the next time the .org directory is reworked.

 So apparently the Theme Directory and the API should be updated to match
 the list in WordPress 4.9+, then the API call can be reinstated in core.
