Correct. We see
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ emacs -Q -batch -l tramp --eval '(message "%S" (file-name-all-completions ""
"/"))'
("scp:" "scpx:" "sbin/" "proc/" "bin/" "snap/" "opt/" "var/" "dev/" "lib64/"
"./" "nonexistent/" "lost+found/" "media/" "root/" "srv/" "etc/" "mnt/" "../"
"tmp/" "net/" "sys/" "lib/" "boot/" "home/" "run/" "usr/")
$ emacs -Q -batch -l tramp --eval '(message "%S" (file-name-all-completions "s"
"/"))'
("sudoedit:" "sshfs:" "smb:" "scp:" "scpx:" "ssh:" "sshx:" "su:" "sg:" "sudo:"
"sftp:" "sbin/" "snap/" "srv/" "sys/")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That is, if there's nothing which could be interpreted as method name
(and "" is nothing in this sense),
tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions uses the default
method, "scp", instead, and it completes this to "scp: and "scpx:".
OTOH, if there is at least one character which could belong to a method
("s" in this case), tramp-completion-handle-file-name-all-completions
returns all possible completions of this like "sudoedit:", "sshfs:",
"smb:", "scp:", "scpx:", "ssh:", "sshx:", "su:", "sg:", "sudo:" and
"sftp:".
I believe this is consistent, and it is implemented like this for at
least 15 years I believe.

What completion styles do with these results, is out of my
knowledge. The Tramp manual says
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
User name and host name completion is activated only, if file name
completion has one of the styles ‘basic’, ‘emacs21’, or ‘emacs22’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Does this help? Although I have added this sentence myself, I have done
this on recommendation by somebody, w/o really understanding why this is so.

Yes, hopefully he can tell us what happens then.
Best regards, Michael.
