FWIW, it's not clear that SgA* is actually a canonical black hole (nor that even such a thing truly exists in nature.)

The EHT image is taken as confirmation but the accuracy of that technique has been called into question: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.04623

Edit: In response to the downvotes, here are 2 very good sources who at least argue against the existence of singularities and their event horizons.

I don't know exactly when science discussion turned into rigid dogma enforcement but we are certainly in that era presently.
