Yes, that is intended.
We decided that the original design was not good enough and disabled the UI for it (#24527).
We plan to add a better implementation until the release of 1.20.0-rc0 in about two weeks (#24767)

If I'm not mistaken, it is still possible to create a token with scopes.
However, you need to create the request yourself using the browser console or something similar.
