You must say something about it being wrong. If the info is incorrect, then you need to explain where and who installs load-bearing frames. I've never encountered a load-bearing frame during my years in the construction industry; they should be loose as it's said. A settling occurs, and the door gets stuck or won't close. No carpenter installs load-bearing frames during installation; normally, the frames are set after the wall or wall blocks are in place. The frame is only attached on the sides, with free play above the lintel.
I have also never experienced a door frame being load-bearing, however, a door frame can be part of a non-load-bearing wall.
All our interior door frames on the ground floor (seven of them) are(/were) part of the interior walls.
Our door frames in the basement were installed at the same time the walls were built. The frames are secured with some nails driven into the sides from the wall side, not a single nail is visible until you remove the door moldings.
In my grandmother's parents' home, they used door frames as beams in the bottom floor structure of an extension. That's what you call load-bearing frames..
It's hard to believe that there would be any builder who would intentionally allow something to be supported by a frame. But don't people say that all walls become load-bearing over time? Perhaps that applies to frames like the one above as well...

then let me teach you something new
in a load-bearing frame the side pieces continue up to the wall plate.
was common or maybe not common but often occurred in villas
haha you don't need to explain how to install a frame.
but not knowing that there are load-bearing frames is a bit scary if you've been in construction for a long time.
try googling and you'll see
The scary part is up to you and not knowing, the googling is probably not worth much, of course, you'll set up load-bearing frames since you're so sure, it's reinforced over a frame, but maybe you don't do that, when it comes to doors next to each other, a stud is placed to relieve, or windows that are large, but the actual frame of the door or window frame is not load-bearing. I don't even believe it was so in the good old days when it's said that frames were load-bearing. However, the wall could warp so the door wouldn't fit properly in the opening.

for goodness sake, I know how a regular frame is installed.
but there are load-bearing frames, nothing unusual. google it and you'll see.
Yes exactly, the frame continues towards the wall plate,
however, this variant does not seem to be load-bearing but the principle is according to the image.
