Does the hyperref breaklinks option have any effect?

According to the hyperref documentation, breaklinks 'is intended for internal use' and 'automatically set according to the driver features' – which, however, doesn't tell us whether it's automatically turned on or off. There are multiple examples of it being recommended on StackExchange and elsewhere: it seems these are mostly looking for better URL breaking, as the xurl package provides. Is there any reason to enable it manually?



I have tried the following MWE in pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX, and cannot find any differences with or without the option enabled:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{hyperref}
% hypersetup{breaklinks=true} % set automatically by hyperref?
% usepackage{xurl} % uncomment for correct output
urlstyle{same}
