using the console was the only way I found that can generate a Legacy address using Electrum seed type.
Since version 4.1.0, in the Electrum wallet creation wizard, the seed type selection option has been removed:# Release 4.1.0 - Kangaroo (March 30, 2021)
-snip-
* 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.

The legacy address can still be created in the console. Previously I also made a post about it here:
Re: Electrum Legacy address
However, the seed type option still appears when creating a new Electrum wallet connected to a hardware wallet.
