That would be a bug in the docs.
Could you point out the actual place where we say that?
In current Emacs-27, normal startup automatically activates all
installed packages, but it doesn't do what (package-initialize t) does
(i.e. setup the list of packages available in repositories, based on
the already downloaded `archive-contents` files).
IOW, in Emacs-27, we have tried to separate the handling of "locally
installed packages" and the handling of "packages that we could
download".
This is akin to Debian's separation between `dpkg` and `apt`.
Stefan
