It's not only ugly code ;) To make your program/application/library 8.1

Important correction: that change is to make your codebase PHP 9.0
compatible, not PHP 8.1 compatible.
That is the point of deprecation notices, to give advance warning that
something will become incompatible in the future; when you act on that
notice is up to you, and not in any sense about "compatibility" with the
version that raises the notice.
(For my thoughts on the rest of what you're saying, see every other
message I've sent to this thread.)
