With the removal of the cache operator in Google Search, support for the noarchive directive is also discontinued, as there's no longer a cached version of pages.
The noarchive meta tag was intended to prevent Google from showing a cached link in search results. However, this feature is now obsolete.
Google stated that users don't need to remove the noarchive tag, since it may still be utilized by other search engines and services.
There was ongoing controversy regarding whether using the noarchive directive could negatively impact SEO, but Google confirmed it did not affect rankings.
