Yes, org-adapt-indentation has been around (with a default of t) since 4be4c5623 (version 4.12a, 2008-01-31). > IMHO, the default value of org-adapt-indentation might be the issue here > (made more visible by the change in 9.4): I agree that hard-indenting > prose should not be the default behaviour.

I certainly prefer org-adapt-indentation at nil and would vote for that if we were introducing the option today, but this would be changing a longstanding default. So, it seems that changing Org to honor electric-indent-mode is now making some users aware of org-adapt-indentation and that its default value is not what they want.
