According to Windows 10 security: How the shadow stack will help to keep the hackers at bay published by TechRepublic in April of 2020, Return Flow Guard (RFG) was never released by Microsoft:

But when the same team looked at how they could attack their own design, they found a race condition that meant some apps weren't protected and decided not to ship it at all.

Displaying this protection may cause people like me(1) to spend a lot of unneeded time trying to figure out how to enable this technology. The above article is consistent with what I experienced.

Can the check be removed or at least have the documentation show a deprecated flag?

Yeah, adding a deprecated note sounds good to me. I'm happy to accept a PR that tweaks the description string for the RFG detection; otherwise, I'll get around to it when I have some free time 🙂
