This is by far the most controversial design decision that was ever made regarding openai gym/gymnasium, and a blog post into why it was done in detail has been published: https://farama.org/Gymnasium-Terminated-Truncated-Step-API

Probably to support models with options?

The linked blog post explains the reason, it wasn't for that

yeah it makes sense to standardize this. Before you had to do wierd hacks which were unique to each environment to figure out what 'done' meant.

And if you want the old api back it's trivial to write a wrapper.
