The default was changed in Emacs 27.1, released mid-2020. From the NEWS file:

> ** Emacs now uses a "portable dumper" instead of unexec.
> This improves compatibility with memory allocation on modern systems,
> and in particular better supports the Address Space Layout
> Randomization (ASLR) feature, a security technique used by most modern
> operating systems.
