So I was expecting that after c08d847488 the Python API call could be recovered, but it wasn’t. It’s very shady since the call deletion doesn’t even appear on 2.90 Release Notes.
Is there a work in progress in this regard? Some people complained about breaking a few addons.
I’m not a Blender dev, but since 2.90 isn’t released yet I would expect the release notes to still be in flux, depending on the code changes up to release.

See https://developer.blender.org/T75672. In comment https://developer.blender.org/T75672#967134 a relevant question is asked:
Is it planned to add back the python scene.statistics API, in some form, so that addons can more flexibly put stuff in the viewport if desired? I feel it’s a needless API break especially now that the stats string was added back to the status bar area.
But no answer is given in that task.
Thanks for reply. Yes I was curious about it as well so I echoed the question here to see if someone could chime in.
I actually tested as recent as in 2.91 Alpha to check how were the state of things but I can’t find a way to retrieve the status bar info, I even gave the code a look to check if a call was added.
Looks like someone was thinking the same today lol. I will subscribe to the bug.
