 The function wp_title() simply never considers is_front_page to be true,
 and as such is broken.

 ''Legacy themes for example use wp_title'', see
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57778, and the codex itself still
 says you must use it https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development,
 **although I know that is not true anymore, in fact nowadays you must use
 add_theme_support instead.**

 ---

 I suggest to add a deprecation notice to this function, because afaik it
 is not used in wp-core and as such, since broken anyway, shouldn't be
 possible to be used in new code, and old code should be warned, if using
 it.
