I also would expect for things like this to continue. The mesh workspace in the current for is still very young and and as it evolves, things are going to change.
I see that it is now in Inspect, but the odd thing is that when you hover over the Face Group icon, it still instructs you to go to Display Settings. They need to fix that in a future update.
Another year later and it still needs to be fixed!
This was never tagged as a bug here on the forum, or in this thread. I've reported it to the EE Slack channel now!
