Yes, the meta keywords tag is outdated and Google doesn't use it as a ranking factor anymore.

Focus on optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, headings, content relevance and search intent instead, as these have much more SEO value.

Use only meta title and description.

Yes, that’s true for Google. The meta keywords tag doesn’t affect Google rankings, so there’s no need to spend time optimizing it. Focus instead on your page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and useful content that matches search intent.

Meta keywords are outdated for Google SEO, so there's little reason to spend time on them. Your effort is better spent matching search intent, improving internal linking, and creating content that genuinely answers users' questions.
