Well DNT indeed did not made it, but there is global privacy control header that is nowadays required as explicit opt-out mechanism by CCPA and some other states legislation. I always implement support for GPC in my products.
Never seen this offered to be set by any browsers, though.
Firefox offers it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/global-privacy-control
They don't seem to call it GPC, but their "ask websites not to track" feature now uses it instead of GPC.
I wonder how many websites use that header as part of their fingerprint mechanism.
Yes ok, and Firefox was also the only browser that offered DNT, which is why it pretty much died.

It's set on by default in "privacy browsers" like Brave or Zen, but off by default in most mainstream ones -- user needs to set it on explicitly via about:config
