It started on Electrum 4.1.0; Electrum automatically creates Segwit wallets with bech32 ('bc1') addresses.Quote from: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/94774c6ad22916026b7183736960abe2f33e3142/RELEASE-NOTES#L9
# Release 4.1.0 - Kangaroo (March 30, 2021)
This version is our second major release with support for the
Lightning Network. While our initial Lightning release was mostly
about implementing the protocol, this release brings features that are
specifically aimed at keeping Electrum lightweight and trustless,
while avoiding single points of failure. Most of the features listed
below are user-visible.
* The wallet creation wizard no longer asks for a seed type, and
creates segwit wallets with bech32 addresses. Older seed types can
still be created with the command line.

I've also tried to generate a legacy type wallet seed using the following format on the console:
Code:
make_seed(128,"","standard")
Note: the seeds that I appear here are just examples; Make sure the seeds are secret/not stolen by other people.
