What happened to the Visualizers in Visual Studio 2026?

Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 had a "Visualizers" folder in Documents/Visual Studio [year]/Visualizers where you can put custom visualizers you created and Visual Studio would load them automatically. Other folders like Template and Code Snippets were there too. In 2026 this seems to be gone entirely. How do we get back this important functionality?
