Closing this as it is not an issue of Joomla.
Maybe does not looks like a joomla issue but it works in Joomla 3 and not in Joomla 4.
Works in 80 joomla 3 site's :-)
So i can change this on all my sites on the conversion to J4 but i would say it is still a Joomla issue :-)

Not sure why this was closed as it is a documented method to select the modules
It is deprecated feature in Joomla 3
joomla-cms/libraries/src/Document/HtmlDocument.php
Lines 595 to 597 in 648f2f8
and removed in Joomla 4.
You have to use what @infograf768 suggest.
Then the documentation needs to be updated and it needs to be added to the faq f deprecated features
Yeah, usual problem ;)
Thanks for the fast support guys!
I will change my code :-)
yes actually it is a joomla core issue,
Try
$this->countModules('position-4') or $this->countModules('position-7') or $this->countModules('position-5')
