Is that really the case now? It's been 3-4 years since I was involved in SEO, and it was very much a thing back then.

"No SEO will ever point to a Google patent or research paper to justify the idea that a Site/Domain Authority exists. Wikipedia has published a page about Domain Authority and the footnote links do not cite a single research paper or patent by Google. Not one. According to the footnotes, Wikipedia’s information is largely based on blog posts by SEOs. There are no links to anything official from Google."
The Googlebot patent 8,042,112 does describe the existence of a "boost" factor when prioritizing crawl.
