What about:

if ( !function_exists( 'cpt_has_archive' ) ) {
	function cpt_has_archive( $post_type ) {
		$post_type_obj = get_post_type_object( $post_type )
		if ( !$post_type_obj->has_archive ) {
			return false;
		}
		return false;
	}
}

Yes, that’s certainly simpler if you just want to check if a post type supports archives! Thanks for the comment.

For context, I believe the use case originally for this function required that it only return true for custom post types with archives (hence the _built_in argument).
