So the question now is: Is this a bug? Or an intentional design?

I consider it a bug. The intent behind having independent options for moderation and confirmation is to provide for moderated lists in close-knit communities. There are many reasons the list owner might want to configure the list "opt-in", but they do know everybody and moderation is "enough security" for them.

I don't have a guess why it's happening. I may be able to look at it in a few days, but this is my busiest quarter and COVID and election jitters are making it worse, so we'll see. Maybe Abhilash or Mark can get to it sooner.
