Vanilla UI has text on attribute bars

I was checking with the addons that adds text with current/max levels of Health, Magicka and Stamina, and also with the UI source code that handles that as well and found that if you type this

Lua Code:

/script ZO_PlayerAttributeHealth.playerAttributeBarObject:SetTextEnabled(true)
/script ZO_PlayerAttributeHealth.playerAttributeBarObject.forceVisible = true

Your Health bar stays visible and with text. No addon needed.

Is it leftover from a previous implementation or something that might gonna come on a future patch?

Also it doesn't work completely, something else always end up hiding the bar again.

I also found this when I added numbers to sidWarTools.
There is even a hidden setting (UI_SETTING_ALWAYS_SHOW_STATUS_TEXT) for it.

My guess is that it is reeeeaaaaaaallly old code that was left over.
The attribute bars generally look more like an ancient ruin than polished code to me (talk about code decay).
