tbf the text in error messages very often leads down a rabbit hole of barely relevant context, rather than to the shortest path to getting things to work as you expect them to. Or maybe they just don’t understand what the word “deprecated” means or implies.
Well sometimes. Learning what deprecated means would probably have very broad usefulness. Learning the ins and outs of the library codebase that generated that error when you’re only going to make minor use of it once might not. There’s a practically infinite amount of things to learn and we all have finite time, attention, and space in our heads.

OTOH you learn a lot while in that rabbit hole, making the next time you research something a little bit easier.
