I wanted to know if its new feature or just a working bug

Before I used to do like

HTML :

<div id="identity">I am an demo text</div>

JS :

let iddiv = document.getElementById("identity");
console.log(iddiv)

but Now I can do

console.log(identity)

Withour storing the element in a variable

I just wanted to ask if it is fine !!

console.log(identity)

<div id="identity">I am an demo text</div>
