As someone extensively trained on botany as part of a general biology degree, I can say that this is mostly nonsense. Classical botany is an outdated science with much of the phenotypical classification (mostly made 150 years ago) having been overturned through genetic analysis.
And modern genetic plant research is alive and well, so this is really just a normal progression of the science.
I try to be able to recognize my local plants but there are so many and some of them are called by local names that are hard to find. I wish there was more support for plant identification

I use PlantNet app
You can use the Seek app by iNaturalist to identify plants.
