Tire Rotation and TPWS initialization

Just did my first tire rotation on my 2023 SE. Paid to have it done, and it was very inexpensive (easy to diy, but currently no space to store the necessary jacks).

My question: l know the car has tire pressure sensors, as l use them all of the time to see how my tires are doing. But does the car have a tire pressure WARNING system? The manual says that system should be initialized at every tire rotation. Do you folks do that? Or is the car smart enough to notice that the wheels have been moved around, and l don't need to do anything ?
The tire pressure warning system is the same system that provides a tire pressure readout. I have had the dealer do the tire rotations as it is included for the first two years. I am not sure whether the dealer tells the car to relearn the pressure sensor locations or not, but the tire pressure readouts seem to be correct when I look at them.
