Everything after the ? can be safely removed
This is usually true but but not always. There's often times when a URL query like that is used to choose the page to load. I believe wordpress does this
-
Only on "I have really bad SEO" kinds of blogs. Query strings have been considered a negative thing for many many years.
-
whuh? querystrings are integral to things like pagination. they are by no means a negative thing.
-
I wouldn't call it integral, pagination query parameters can be in the url params just as easily as in the querystring
-
Pagination query params can be in the URL params, but that’s not normal at all. They’re pretty much always use query params, and it’s very reasonable to do so. Filtering, search, and pagination all typically go in query params.
-
that's very hard to make idiomatic, and if it's in the querystring it's easier to change manually because you can annotate each entry more easily.

Not everybody cares for SEO BS

WordPress uses a taxonomic system you choose with a mix of the Settings page and how you organize your template hierarchy. To my knowledge there is no out of the box query url functionality in the core system.
-
There is.
?s=for a search, and you can combine it with other parameters such as date or taxonomy terms.

Sometimes I'll post a picture straight from a duckduckgo search, and it doesn't work without the stuff after the ?
(I'm also not sure how long the url is valid for, so I try not to do this too often)
