    Since get_magic_quotes_gpc() has been useless ever since PHP 5.4.0, why are you still using it? Can be safely removed.

    It is used only for compatibility with old WordPress and PHP versions. While it would be great if all users upgraded their sites to an actively supported PHP version like 7.4 (i.e. the oldest actively supported version as of this writing), that is not the case in practice. A significant fraction of sites still run older versions.

    If you look at the plugin code, you’ll see that it includes a PHP version check and it only calls get_magic_quotes_gpc on versions older than 7.4.
