I think your first point is obvious...lol.

I was just trying to understand why GDAL_DATA wasn't required in my older version in order for SRS info to display in the ogrinfo app. You have answered that question. Thank you.

If software didn't change between versions, there would be no point in releasing new versions :-)

So yes since GDAL 2.3, the shapefile driver now needs to access to the GDAL resource .csv files for nominal behaviour. (Actually if they are absent, you should still get the same, or similar, result as in 1.11)
