--------------------------+------------------------------------------
 When lazy-loading was introduced in WordPress 5.5, one crucial
 customization point that was omitted (by accident) is checking whether
 lazy-loading is enabled for a featured image.

 As first reported in https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/46789,
 this means that it is impossible to control or remove `loading="lazy"`
 attributes added to featured images.

 The Gutenberg issue also refers to other problems some of which are
 subject of #56930, but technically those problems are separate from this
 one.
