Persistent warning when using geom_point suggesting to use annotate

[EA-Ammar]

Providing geom_point with simple x and y parameters now consistently triggers a warning suggesting to use annotate.

This warning is also visible several places on the reference page Position related aesthetics: x, y, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, xend, yend, so I assume that this is not working as intended. If it is, I don't understand how annotate is an alternative.

Reproducible example:

library("tidyverse")

# Sample data
dat <- data.frame(xvar = c(1:100),
                  yvar = c(101:200))

# Chart with geom warning
ggplot(dat,
       aes(x = cap,
           y = maint)) + 
  geom_point(aes(x= 5,
                 y = 125))

Resulting in warning:

Warning message:
In geom_point(aes(x = 5, y = 125)) :
All aesthetics have length 1, but the data has 100 rows.
ℹ Did you mean to use annotate()?

This issue is very similar to #5762, so I suggest to continue discussion there to keep it all in one place.
