Yes, intendedly so.

It's the more beginner-friendly version. The old variant is the
"specialist" version which you'd use if you need full control. Using
C-u to demand the easier variant seems like a backward way of using a
prefix argument. The price is an incompatibility in the default user
interface to previous versions. Personally, I consider it an
improvement.
