Salting bitter eggplant?

How often do you read these labor-intensive instructions?

Remove the stems from the eggplants and discard. Cut unpeeled eggplant into 1/2 cubes and salt liberally; drain in a colander with a heavy weight, such as a pot or glass mixing bowl, on top for 1 hour to allow the bitter juices to drain off. Rinse off salt, squeeze well, and dry with absorbent paper. Set aside.

It’s not worth it nowadays - eggplant varieties just don’t have any bitterness to them, as they used to. Or do you disagree?
