It makes sense to include so it's obvious in the readable HTTP request response. We use readable URLs and header names for the same purpose: So it is inspectable and understandable from that text format. You may leave deprecation information out, but then you're missing part of the resource description that you're addressing with the URL/URI.
Given a defined header it also allows you to add tooling and automation. There's no need for manual reading.
