To be clear: Windows still does subpixel rendering, and the wizard is still there. The wizard has not actually worked properly for at least a decade at this point, and subpixel rendering is always enabled, unless you use hacks or third-party programs.
DirectWrite doesn’t apply subpixel anti-aliasing by default [0], and an increasing number of applications use it, including Microsoft Office since 2013. One reason is the tablet mode starting with Windows 8, because subpixel ClearType only works in one orientation. Nowadays non-uniform subpixel layouts like OLED panels use are another reason.
