Comment (by Clorith):

 These functions were introduced with PHP 8, so before this can be properly
 considered, WordPress core would need a minimum PHP version of 8.0, which
 I think is a bit premature still, when looking at the overall PHP version
 stats.

 Alternatively, core would need to create a polyfill for the functions,
 although possible, that feels like the wrong direction to me. Of course,
 if there's some substantial performance gains for those running on PHP 8
 already, then it would be considered, but this would need to be well
 documented first :)
