@DMGregory "the old function is going to be changed to throw a warning/error to alert to the mistake". Unfortunately, when I wrote the script, I still didn't see any warnings about FindObjectOfType. I use Unity Editor 2022.3 LTS and Visual Studio 2022.

@huang I'd suspect because they know most game developers will keep using the first thing that comes to hand. If you type the familiar FindObjectsOfType() and it's accepted, you don't tend to go looking for an overload that requires typing more characters. So you end up getting "slow by default", when what we really want is "fast by default". As Kevin's link explains, the old function is going to be changed to throw a warning/error to alert to the mistake, and eventually be removed, so that devs can't accidentally stumble into this performance landmine. I think such minesweeping is good.
