Yes, org-adapt-indentation has been around (with a default of t) since
4be4c5623 (version 4.12a, 2008-01-31).

Perhaps.  I certainly prefer org-adapt-indentation at nil and would vote
for that if we were introducing the option today, but this would be
changing a longstanding default.

So, it seems that changing Org to honor electric-indent-mode is now
making some users aware of org-adapt-indentation and that its default
value is not what they want.
