I have Electrum on a machine from 2018 with several wallets holding the keys to various amounts of BTC. These were set up with no passwords, and work just fine with today's Electrum 4.3.2-1. All except for the default_wallet, which it asks the password for.

Did something change in the Electrum software between then and now to require a PW for the default, even if none was used?

Not a big deal, because I do have the seed phrase. Just inconvenienced, and kinda curious.
