You literally just have to give it a width and add margin: 0 auto;

I think it’s implied they’re talking about centering both horizontally and vertically. And probably with unknown height.

Still easy these days , though.

Or use Flexbox

But your solution works as well for simple cases

I generally avoid flex for simple stuff (i like weird browsers), but for more complex layouts it should certainly be used.
