Does hummingbird still matter as a concept in SEO or has it just been absorbed into how we talk about intent?

Was putting together some materials on google's algorithm history and realized i don't have a great answer for how much hummingbird specifically still shapes modern SEO versus just being the foundation that everything since has been built on.

When it launched the big shift was moving from keyword matching to understanding the meaning behind queries. which now just sounds like basic SEO in 2024, semantic search, search intent, entity optimization.

Do you still reference hummingbird specifically when explaining how google works to clients or newer SEOs? or has it just become background context that doesn't need its own mention anymore?
