I disagree with this sentence of the article:

"I could say that times have changed and now the original 2004 reasons for omitting frame pointers are no longer valid in 2024."

The original 2004 reason for omitting frame pointers is still valid in 2024: it's still a big performance win on the register-starved 32-bit x86 architecture. What has changed is that the 32-bit x86 architecture is much less relevant nowadays (other than legacy software, for most people it's only used for a small instant while starting up the firmware), and other common 32-bit architectures (like embedded 32-bit ARM) are not as register-starved as the 32-bit x86.
