I've seen it in example docs, but the spec discourages its use including because it may be useless on mobile devices:
"Relying on the title attribute is currently discouraged as many user agents do not expose the attribute in an accessible manner as required by this specification (e.g. requiring a pointing device such as a mouse to cause a tooltip to appear, which excludes keyboard-only users and touch-only users, such as anyone with a modern phone or tablet)."

We aren't the HTML police unless we are super opinionated about something. I think in this case it is fine to keep it around.
