I personally would have considered this stealing.
I know some hotels have QR codes for tips but unless there is a note specifying it is a tip or the guest had checked out, taking anything from the room that doesn't belong to the hotel is theft.
We request no housekeeping during our stay and it's surprising to me the amount of people who tip housekeeping daily. If the maid is extremely friendly, or we have specific requests for them, we might go to the bank so we can tip at the end of our stay, but we rarely carry cash since Covid.
IMO there needs to be a better system for tipping.
Many guests (including me) tip daily. The guest having checked out has no impact on tipping. And it shouldn't, as you may have a different housekeeper each day.
If I requested NO HOUSKEEPING and money was missing from my room, that is a totally different thing.
And at WDW you should always have a bit of cash on you. More than once I have gone up to purchase something from a kiosk, and they were cash only due to computer problems.
