It was a thing until recently when it was found washing is more likely to spread disease from splashing than just sticking it in the oven to kill everything.
Can you define "recently"? I've been cooking for ~20 years now, and I also took a food-and-nutrition class in highschool which had a pretty significant unit on food safety and cross contamination. I'm confident saying that washing chicken was not the norm at least as far back as 2006.
Sorry, I'm old now so "recent" is messed up in my mind. Pretty sure I learned the change from Alton Brown Good Eats 1999.
