In previous versions such as 1.19.4, on death toggle sprint would stay toggle if it was toggled before death. In 1.20 if toggle sprint was toggled on before death, it would not be toggled on after death like in previous versions.

Dying resets your toggle sprint, eg when I die with toggle sprint enabled, I respawn walking. Version 1.20

I can confirm this happenes in all 1.20+ versions.
It's mainly annoying when you play on minigames servers where you die often and when you respawn you have to enable sprint again.

I'm pretty sure that this was an intentional change done alongside the fix of MC-237042, but I can confirm this, nonetheless.
