It still does. Not sure many unmanaged switches support either spanning tree or automatic link aggregation.
Connecting two ports to the same network without specifically configuring spanning tree or loop detection, or link aggregation will destroy your network.
Here is why. A broadcast packets coming in one port is sent out all ports. If port A and B are both connected to the router, a broadcast packet received on A will be sent out B. The router will receive it and send it back to port A. Switch will receive it and send it back out B. This will repeat until the network is swamped.
