Since WordPress 4.6 translations now take translate.wordpress.org as priority and so plugins that are translated via translate.wordpress.org do not necessary require load_plugin_textdomain() anymore. If you don’t want to add a load_plugin_textdomain() call to your plugin you have to set the Requires at least: field in your readme.txt to 4.6 or more.
