That is correct. It's been discussed in the list and Nicolas announced that it's
been merged into master on Tuesday. Look for the thread entitled

   [RFC] Change default value for `org-startup-folded'?

It can also be found at 
<http://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2020-04/msg00452.html>

C-h v org-startup-folded RET

You can get the previous default by setting it to t in your init file.
