I don't think they really do as much these days. If you have a lot of possession and are creating chances, people will praise you and say you were unlucky.

But you're not going to find anybody who praises Chelsea for having 67% possession against United yesterday. Possession is normally considered in combination with chances created, xG, etc now.

Ask my Cottagers.
Last season in the second division, Fulham DOMINATED time of possession, but even then did not have as many goals as they should have given how long they held onto the ball.

This year, same thing, only worse.
