I'm not aware of this changing. Are you sure your DDEV installation is up-to-date?

$ ddev -v

ddev version v1.24.6

$ ddev help composer

Executes a Composer command at the Composer root in the web container. Generally,
any Composer command can be forwarded to the container context by prepending
the command with 'ddev'.

Usage:
  ddev composer [command] [flags]
  ddev composer [command]

Aliases:
  composer, co

Examples:
ddev composer install
ddev composer require <package>
ddev composer outdated --minor-only
ddev composer create-project drupal/recommended-project .

Available Commands:
  create-project Executes 'composer create-project' within the web container with the arguments and flags provided

Global Flags:
      --skip-hooks   If true, any hook normally run by the command will be skipped.

Use "ddev composer [command] --help" for more information about a command.

(At one point, DDEV did use the create shorthand, but moved toward full compatibility with Composer’s create-project!)

Yeah my bad, ddev was out of date.

Now both commands work.

I would prefer the shorter one, but totally understand if you want to stay consistent with the default composer command, since composer does not support create as far as I know.

[AugustMiller]

Understood! I don't think we can recommend it, as it's no longer publicly documented.

FYI, they do provide a ddev co shortcut for all composer sub-commands!

ddev co create-project ...

You can also set up a custom global command that simplifies the syntax.
