As a quick confirmation, without the time to look into the code: This approach is to be preferred over the single line due to back compatibility.

We should possibly explicitly state in [set_ticks](https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.axis.Axis.set_ticks.html#matplotlib-axis-axis-set-ticks) that the respective other kind of ticks is not changed.

I'm sorry, but what is the purpose of the example? As far as I understood #27621 was requesting additions to https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/explain/animations/animations.html#animations.

*If* this should be kept we could also dump it into #14331 or create an issue link that in #14331. But I'm still waiting for somebody to speak up for...

Ping @tacaswell do you have an opinion?
