No, this is still the same, this can be observed also without find at
all, i.e.

Ctags Team
Universal Ctags is derived from Exuberant Ctags.
Exuberant Ctags 5.8, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert
Compiled: Aug 13 2025, 19:44:31

Output version: 1.1
Optional compiled features: +wildcards, +regex, +gnulib_fnmatch,
+gnulib_regex, +iconv, +option-directory, +xpath, +yaml,
+case-insensitive-filenames, +packcc, +optscript, +pcre2
I think it makes sense for universal tags to have some languages disabled,
but also I believe that in GNU Global case everything should be found as
long as it is configured and fed.
Best,
