Photoshop 22.5.0 proportional scaling no longer works?

So, proportional scaling used to be non-defualt (you used to have to hold shift to scale proportionally)

Then they changed it so proportional scaling WAS the default... and I got used to it.

But now (PS 22.5.0) it's NOT default anymore. You have to hold shift again,

There's an option in 'preferences > general' to toggle on/off 'Use Legacy Free Transform' but that doesn't seem to have any effect

Anyone know what's going on?

I got used to having thing scale proportionally by default and would now like it back
