Do LLMs remove stopwords?

Stopword removal is a pretty common preprocessing technique that you learn in introductory NLP courses. I've personally used it for text classification with some basic ML methods (SVM, RF).

But are people removing stopwords, nowadays? It seems like words such as "to" and "from" can be pretty useful in certain scenarios like searching.
