Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac!

 Thanks for the ticket, sorry it took so long for someone to get back to
 you.

 Per the discussion in #10982, this is intentional behavior for the classic
 editor. A filter was added in #20054, allowing plugins to change it. This
 plugin implements the change: https://wordpress.org/plugins/category-
 checklist-tree/.

 As noted above, this is fixed in the block editor introduced with
 WordPress 5.0.
