Comment (by room34):

 Here's another unexpected twist. I'm just trying to add translation
 support to another of my plugins. I use Poedit for this, as is
 [recommended in the
 documentation](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/internationalization/localization/#poedit).

 Poedit would not generate the `.pot` file, saying the plugin was not
 translation-ready. An error in the log file indicated that
 `load_plugin_textdomain()` was missing, among a couple of other things. I
 temporarily added the function call to the plugin, and Poedit was then
 able to create the file.

 I did confirm that Poedit seems to be able to work with the plugin fine
 after creating the `.pot` file; it just needs `load_plugin_textdomain()`
 to be in the plugin during the initial creation. Still, this is likely why
 a lot of plugins call that function even if they technically don't need
 to, and I'm sure many of plugin developers also use Poedit.

 From what I've seen here, this likely won't be an issue if plugins don't
 call the function too early, but it does complicate the suggestion that
 plugins don't need to call the function at all.
