Take a closer look. libbpf-tools do not use bpf_load.h, that one is
deprecated and its use is discouraged. libbpf-tools rely on

Will do. Does this mean that, going forward, BPF development will be encouraged to use kernels compiled with "CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y"? I've been using a default build up to now.

Yes. A lot of newer functionality relies on kernel BTF as well. But to
compile portable BPF program you also need kernel BTF (for BPF CO-RE
stuff).
