Google doesn’t show domain info anymore

Not long time ago Google added new operator info: that represented links to cash, backlinks, index and etc on given domain name query. For some time, domain name query by itself and query with this operator worked the same way, and that was strange - what this operator needed for, then? Now, domain name in query interpreted as ordinary keyword (before we had to inquote it).
Demo-queries:
google.com
info:google.com

In view of the aforesaid a question raises - what else was changed in Google?

P. S. Don’t ask me about why Google doesn’t show backlinks - it’s very old story.
