Comment:

 Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Per the discussion in #10982, this is intentional behavior for the classic
 editor. A filter was added in [20710] / #20054, allowing plugins to change
 it. This plugin implements the change: [https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /category-checklist-tree/ Category Checklist Tree].

 As noted in comment:1:ticket:38934, this is fixed in the block editor
 introduced with WordPress 5.0.
