No more Blade based authentication starter kit in Laravel 12?

I'm confused with the new starter kits in laravel 12. Until Laravel 11 most of the time I was using Breeze with Blade only. The Laravel 12 documentation for starter kits states that Breeze is history (no updates anymore) and that I have to choose between starter kits that are tied to JS frameworks I usually don't use. Does that mean that from now on I have to manually do user authentication when I don't want to use Vue, React or Livewire? Thanks for any clarification on this. :)
