I’ve yet to see news of this anywhere else nor experience it myself. Maybe it’s only happening to the articles author?

This has been true since iOS 16.1 and 15.7.1 (local PC/Mac backups need the passcode to be manually/explicitly entered).

EDIT: for emphasis: this only affects local backups to a PC/MAC (wired or wifi). People using iCloud are not affected.

Apple briefly mentions the change here, but the impact (requiring the passcode) isn't explicitly stated: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213489

It was done to fix security issue "CVE-2022-32929 - Bypass iOS backup's TCC protection": https://theevilbit.github.io/posts/cve-2022-32929/
