As in the title, the "create backup" message when opening old (in my case 1.16.5.) world in the newest version is gone, world just loads. That backup prompt existed in in stable versions before, added screenshot from version 1.16.5. as a proof.
Steps to recreate:
1. Create a world in older version
2. Try opening the world in 1.17.
3. World load without usual backup prompt
EDIT: deleted the part about "!" mark, it was never supposed to be on updating from stable version to never stable version, added a screenshot as a proof of backup prompt existence, and reworded the bug report to make it clearer what is the issue

MC-227787 seems like the same issue and has been marked as working as intended. For that reason I've resolved this as a duplicate 🙂

Not quite the same issue IMO. MC-227787 is about the exclamation missing, which is intentional because that's only supposed to happen in snapshots/pre-releases/RCs.
The issue here (in my opinion) is that loading a 1.14.4 world (for example) in 1.16.5 shows the backup screen, but loading the same world in 1.17 does not.
Got confirmation from the developers that this was indeed an intended change for the same reasons as MC-227787.
i got the same thing, i think it is a new featchure to save some time.
