@bencomp The comment is a reply within a thread on a bug I'd opened in 2020 about broken linked-data responses from Worldcat.

Otherwise, I'm as much in the dark as you are.

For some more information, Worldcat / OCLC are apparently now focused on "Worldcat Entities":

Use the search box on entities.oclc.org to find and view WorldCat Entities for persons and works. Browse through different languages and explore the way each entity links to other external vocabularies and authority files for further context.

oclc.org/en/worldcat/oclc-and-

This sounds to me like an attempt to reject an open and common standard and substitute a closed, proprietary, and limited-function one.
