In particular, hiding the "x/y" (i.e. theta/r) ticklabels doesn't make
sense for polar axes, and I'd guess likewise for most projections other
than the default rectilinear. Try e.g.
subplots(2, 2, subplot_kw=dict(projection="polar"), sharex=True, sharey=True).

https://matplotlib.org/stable/gallery/specialty_plots/skewt.html would be a counter example. OTOH, it's correct for all built in projections, and if somebody provides a custom projection we can expect they'll be able to hide labels they do not want. So let's not overthink this.

Fair point about skewT :( but I would agree that they can always hide the labels themselves.

This broke on merge, possibly because of the grid visibility PR #20161 going in in between.
