It has always been an option, however it's easy to miss it's happening when it happens to a really small subset of genes you are importing into an excel sheet. Most of the time people just don't pay attention, and excel does whatever is useful for most people (i.e. not biologists).

Worked in bioinformatics in the past, and I think this is just an issue with people not knowing it did happen. You have many new biologists joining the field every day, people are going to mess up if the standard excel option is conversion.

It has not always been an option, at least not one that's easy to find.
