Summary of Changes
Meta keywords are still not appearing in the articles even after they are added. When we enter meta keywords in an article, they do not display on the frontend, which is a major drawback for the site’s SEO.
While the meta description is displaying correctly, all modern browsers and crawlers still check the meta keywords, so it’s important that they are visible in the article output. In the current code structure, the meta description is shown properly, but the meta keywords are not.
A small code adjustment has now been implemented to ensure that the keywords are also displayed correctly on the article frontend.

This is intentional and why it is not called meta keywords in the UI
Meta keywords have not been used by google and all other major search engines since 2009 for ranking purposes as they were so easily and often abused for spamming purposes.
This should be closed as not planned

Meta keywords are no longer relevant for SEO.
They are used by Joomla for 'related articles' connections.
