Since bug 1495475 landed for geckodriver 0.23.0 around 5 years ago we started to warn about the usage of desiredCapabilities and requiredCapabilities. Most likely it will be the time now to finally get rid of their usage.

I have asked Selenium maintainers and right now it should only be the Java binding which is using both beside the capabilities. It would need to be discussed why this is done in Selenium and if it can be removed as well.

A request for the removal has been filed on the Selenium repository:
