Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 I have reproduced the issue with these steps:
 1. Switch the theme to Twenty Twenty-One.
 2. Create 10 sticky posts.
 3. Create 10 non-sticky posts.
 4. On the home page, there are now 10 non-sticky posts and 5 sticky posts
 (instead of 10).

 It looks like this was introduced in [52982] / #36907 as a result of
 removing the `'nopaging' => true` argument from the `get_posts()` call in
 question. It's not quite clear why it was removed, as neither the ticket
 nor the commit message mention the removal. With `'nopaging' => true`
 restored, all 10 sticky posts are displayed as expected.

 This seems like a backward compatibility break, so I have reopened #36907
 with a patch.
