Documentation: Confused about formulation regarding encore_entry_*

[bc-0dp]

In the documentation for installing webpack-encore specifically for a non-symfony project. This sentence throws me off:

If you're not using Symfony, you can ignore the entrypoints.json file and point to the final, built file directly. entrypoints.json is only required for some optional features.

This is due to the error I am receiving Unknown "encore_entry_link_tags" function.
Looking around the net for answers I see a lot of projects omitting encore_entry_link_tags and encore_entry_script_tags
and instead uses native implementations like,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('build/app.css') }}"> and <script src="{{ asset('build/app.js') }}"></script>

So I am wondering, if what this message in the documentation is trying to relay is more in line with:

If you are not using Symfony you SHOULD ignore the encore_ specific twig tags and entrypoints.json since they are only supported in Symfony applications. Instead use native implementations and point to the final built files directly

I see your point! Perhaps this:

If you are not using Symfony you won't have the encore_entry_* functions available. Instead, you can
point directly to the final built files or write code to parse entrypoints.json manually. The entrypoints
file is needed only if you're using certain optional features, like splitEntryChunks().

Something along those lines yes!

Though it would be spiffy if the guide continued to describe how that could be accomplished using DI(PSR-11)

That would be spiffy, but it goes beyond the scope of what we have the bandwidth to cover in the docs :).
