AFAIU, not different. Previously, we had

So, the default value was Qt previously as well.

The DEFVAR_LISP + V... + DEFSYM + Fmake_variable_buffer_local is taken
from other buffer-local variables. For example,

  DEFVAR_LISP ("display-line-numbers-width", Vdisplay_line_numbers_width,
    doc: /* Minimum width of space reserved for line number display.
A positive number means reserve that many columns for line numbers,
even if the actual number needs less space.
The default value of nil means compute the space dynamically.
Any other value is treated as nil.  */);
  Vdisplay_line_numbers_width = Qnil;
  DEFSYM (Qdisplay_line_numbers_width, "display-line-numbers-width");
  Fmake_variable_buffer_local (Qdisplay_line_numbers_width);
