Comment:

 @TimothyBlynJacobs I would argue that this is a reasonable breakage.
 Plugins that are manipulating login methodology should be expected to
 adapt to how login works, and that could absolutely include removing the
 fields from the DOM or removing the required attribute. In my opinion,
 this change is still appropriate, and any plugins that are dependent on
 these fields not being required should adapt.

 That said, this probably means this change should come with a dev note.

 I'm leaving this as reopened for the moment, but in my opinion this should
 be closed again as fixed.
