Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 I agree this would be good to deprecate in 6.2. The `WP_Query` API is
 simple enough to use and has all of the configuration flags necessary.
 This way we can avoid duplicating numerous `WP_Query` args in the function
 call in order to accommodate all the different use cases.

 If a developer still wants to use a standalone function for this purpose,
 they can always write their own wrapper that calls `WP_Query` under the
 hood.

 Additionally, this function is not used in WordPress Core, and has been
 discouraged by many linting tools as it has been an uncached query
 previously.
