Did they ever allow a user without KYC before?

They did, but if you're Tor/VPN users, you might have time complete your payment.

Maybe this is also the reason why one of the famous sources for Bitcoin news leaves Bitpay and switched to OpenNode.

A lot of users also too complained about Bitpay. It's time to move on with Bitpay, there are some much better payment provider services especially those accepting also Bitcoin lightning payments. This could be a big negative impact on the side of Bitpay, a lot of people already leaving Bitpay.
What is BitPay ID verification? What documents are accepted? - On their KYC, they are using a third-party company (Onfido) to process the KYC of Bitpay's users, it's still useless.

Don't forget BTCPay

For example, Tor Project used BitPay to accept Bitcoin donation where users need to fill personal information, but now they use BTCPay to accept Bitcoin donation.

It's just matter of time before people are forced to use non-centralized solution or give up on their privacy/control over their coin.
