Is document.write() outdated? When running this code, I get the following 'violation' message...

Here is my code:

alert("Hello, thanks for visiting");
console.log("Hello from the console");
document.write("<h1>Welcome to my page</h1>");

When I run it in the console, I get the following message: [Violation] Avoid using document.write(). https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/08/removing-document-write

Am I doing something wrong or is document.write() outdated?

Hmm....I copy/pasted the exact code to my Workspace, and it displayed the message without any errors. So, I'm not sure.

Edit: I copy/pasted the exact code directly to the console too, still no errors except when I paste the code to the console on a blank tab. Then I get This document requires 'TrustedHTML' assignment error.
