Yes, this is intended. Read etc/NEWS of Emacs 26.1:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** The method part of remote file names is mandatory now.
A valid remote file name starts with "/method:host:" or
"/method:address@hidden:".

*** The new pseudo method "-" is a marker for the default method.
"/-::" is the shortest remote file name then.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You could still use tramp-default-method, by using "-" as the default
method: "/-:<user>@<host>".

If you use only the default method, you could switch the Tramp syntax by
this in your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'tramp)
(tramp-change-syntax 'simplified)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
