I don't know that it's even bad now. I have a home darkroom for gelatin silver b&w prints. I got asked some questions by suppliers when I bought glassware last decade. I answered "photography" and that's the extent of my hassles. Photographer's Formulary (https://stores.photoformulary.com/ https://stores.photoformulary.com/) sells most of what one needs for conventional and alternative processes.
