From MDN:

This means that if you do not need to support legacy browsers, it is recommended that you use Content-Security-Policy without allowing unsafe-inline scripts instead.

I think this is kept around because of IE support. Same goes for X-Frame-Options, as per Cam.

Interim update: Seems like we're no longer supporting many of those older browsers, so that older statement may not be applicable anymore. I'll update again when I have confirmation.

@walterl That's great, if we're killing IE 😉 If you ask me, it's been dead for many years, but just a couple of months ago the were PR #10993, and we should then close IE specific issues as wontfix?
And document supported browsers #10310

@flamber Thanks for the extra info. I'll make sure that that's part of the conversation.
