Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I'm seeing quite a few plugins that do seem to
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GMKN6TB0GRGSSASAHZAJNY2J reference the
 older file structure directly] in require statements, not just the
 autoloader file.

 However wise it was for these plugins to do this can be debated but
 WordPress should not throw a fatal error on sites including plugins that
 did so.

 There are some false positives in the link (security plugins containing
 the file hash been the most common) there are also a quite a number of
 installations that are true positives.
