Mojang? They do not make World Painter, or MCEdit, or any of the other various tools, many of which no longer work at all (e.g. MCEdit) - it is up to the developers of the tools to update them, same for mods, which break with every incremental update, much less major updates like 1.13 (if they wanted to they could declare that all tools and mods are illegal since they use their own code or proprietary data formats, which were all obtained by decompiling the game, which most software forbids).
That said, I do know why it can't populate chunks anymore - the "TerrainPopulated" flag was replaced with a more complex "Status" flag which indicates which stage of world generation a chunk is in (there are now a total of 10 stages instead of just 2, or bare terrain/decorated; this also means that it is much more complicated if you just want to decorate a chunk since all the stages that come after it will also be performed). This should have been accounted for in the 1.13 update though; on the other hand, 1.14 made even more changes to the save format (as will 1.15).
There is also an open issue regarding this on GitHub:

They could revert some changes so that world painter's population features could work again.
You can do that yourself, just use an earlier version of Minecraft.
Seriously, I presume those changes were made for a reason, reverting them just so third party editors don't have to be updated would remove any benefits that come with the new features for all of us, even those who don't care about World Painter etc.
World painter can no longer populate maps with trees and structures due to recent updates to minecraft. Please fix this mojang.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

Just testing.
The thing is, with the new population system world painter can't and probably never will again support structures and trees.
I have asked a question on Reddit to see if they can try to fix this on their end but I have not received a response as of now.
