Starting with version 29.3, Illustrator got the 'Embed permitted fonts for file preview' option in the Illustrator Options save dialog.
Currently it’s disabled by default, because there were multiple confused complaints on the changed behavior.
When missing in your current system, fonts will render as previews in the documents that were saved with this option enabled — it 'bakes' these outlines in. When we try to edit one though, we get a warning and the font becomes substituted, as before.
For more details and help, please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/using/find-missing-fonts.html
However, this is not 'Convert text to outlines on open' as we requested it. The option does not provide a way to do that for all the embedded outline previews, and Ai still doesn’t allow to select these at once. So do please upvote the request and comment and tell the team about your experience with this option, for it…

This is going to be super useful for client-provided artwork that has Type 1/postscript fonts in live text that doesn't need to change.

We have done further updates to Dimension tool with recently released version - 28.3
You can create and use your custom scale for dimension, hide or show units on dimensions and dimensions are now sticky to the object - they transform as well when you transform the object.

This.
"Some people are limited by their employers purchasing policies that for various reasons will not permit the purchase of third-party plug-ins."
While I could theoretically make a case for specific plugins at my current employer, the process to get plugins (especially ones that are not free) to be installed in a corporate setting -- where you don't necessarily have admin rights to your own machine (with good reason from a network security standpoint), plugins and scripts aren't the answer. This is especially true if you have to go through a ticketing system to even get to talk with your IT department in the first place. I've definitely freelanced at places like that.
I shouldn't have to take work home to open up Illustrator files on my home machine in order to pull dimensions using CADTools. I've been using Illustrator for well over 20 years now. There's no reason that a feature available in CorelDraw in the 90s shouldn't be easily worked into the software in 2020.

Adding a comment to confirm that the overprint simulation is STILL not showing up in raster exports when spot colors are used up through Illustrator 2025. This is something that is especially important when it comes to clients who may be reviewing concepts via presentation decks or when files are routed for approval in content management systems that use the PDF preview such as Workfront. As much as we reiterate to reviewers that they should not be reviewing color via Workfront (or similar CMS systems), it's a common comment. There has got to be a better way to simulate spot overprints in raster image exports that don't require just taking screenshots of an Illustrator or Acrobat document with overprint preview turned on.
