Most services support bech32 addresses now, so generating legacy addresses by default seems overly cautious. bech32 addresses are more robust and user friendly in multiple ways.

utACK faf62d9, maybe add a release note "checkbox changed, but the behavior/outcome remains the same".

Good point, but I think for the GUI it is self-explanatory, since the button comes with a help text and a massive tooltip

utACK faf62d9415d74e69356d2b64c134184814938708, don't think a release note is needed for this specifically, though a general release note on switching to bech32 by default would make sense
