It's was never a well-defined method and I've been unable to find anything that uses it. The StackWalker API is a much better solution for code that is interested in the number of stack frames.

Looks good to me.
Given that Java SE 9 released on 21st September 2017, and there has been Java SE 10, 11, 12, and 13, since then. I think it is reasonable to remove this particular method now, in Java SE 14.
