Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk is required when running in MTP mode

[yodasad]

When using Microsoft Testing Platform, the reference to the Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk package is no longer required.
For example, that's the quote from Xunit docs:

If you want to rely solely on Microsoft Testing Platform support, you can remove the package references to xunit.runner.visualstudio and Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk.

But JunitXml.TestLogger implicitly requires the Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk, because if we run tests on a project that does not have such a reference the following error occurs:

Error output: Unhandled exception. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.ObjectModel, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is it possible to remove such a reference for MTPv2 mode?

• Test Runner: MTPv2
• Test Framework: Xunit
• .NET project version, sdk version: net10.0
• Command line used (please share the test run command):

dotnet test --solution audit.slnx --report-spekt-junit "MethodFormat=Class;FailureBodyFormat=Verbose;" --report-spekt-junit-filename "$ROOT/artifacts/tests/{assembly}-test-result.xml" --filter-query "/!*IntegrationTests"

• OS: Linux/Windows

Expected behavior
No errors occur during test run.

The same issue for me.
I managed to solve the issue with only installing Microsoft.TestPlatform.ObjectModel NuGet. But still this package dependency looks strange, as it is not related to MTP, but rather to VSTest
I have no Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk in my project.

.NET 8
xunit.v3. 4.0.0
