It could it be related to this change:

As a side question --- I remember that this was the default for
upstream OpenSSH since 2015, but was not adopted in Fedora because
people who install Fedora on headless machines (or remotely) would have
no other way of logging in after initial installation. So why the change
of heart now, what happened to the headless login issue?
Because one can generally set up a normal user, log in as them, then su
or sudo. IMO it is nuts to allow direct root login to your machine as
root, let alone as root-via-password. Just asking to be hacked.
And yes I've got a number of headless machines.
