This is only true when running emacs -Q or emacs -q.
For normal emacs invocation, since Emacs 27, by default, Emacs calls
(package-initialize) automatically on startup.
strangely in my 27, help on package-initialize does not say explicitly whether it is called automatically.
it says "If ‘package-initialize’ is called twice during Emacs startup,
signal a warning, since this is a bad idea except in highly
advanced use cases. To suppress the warning, remove the
superfluous call to ‘package-initialize’ from your init-file. If
you have code which must run before ‘package-initialize’, put
that code in the early init-file."
i ran package-initialize in my .emacs and checked c-h e and did not find a warning. however, without running it, it still seems to have been run.
