That might not always be the case. I often pull with provoke because of it's huge (for a melee class) 25y range (by comparison, Shield Lob is 15y), instant cast, off-gdc effect. Extremely useful if you want to let a mob group get closer safely, pick individual patrol mobs alone, or if you need to pull two groups at once.
Of course, that doesn't detract from the text being very misleading, and I can only welcome the change. Just know that not every tank that uses provoke to pull doesn't know what they're doing

Oh, I am well aware that provoke can be used correctly due to range (I even used this back when WP speed runs was a thing to grab the tomberries next to the door leading to 2nd boss), but there are many tanks, in levellng dungeons particularly, who use it within shield lob distance simply because they dont understand that using shield lob actually generates proper threat while pulling with provoke only really grabs an enemies attention and does almost nothing for your threat on a pull, and should generally be saved in case dps/healer pulls the enemy off you (group pulls in dungeons)
