It looks like: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-15#edge-to-edge_enforcement

However, I would have expected this to appear sooner, so I'm not sure. But I can replicate it.

For Android 15, one can opt out:
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/16/behavior-changes-16

Android 16 makes it mandatory (it feels like iOS, lol).

Feels like they want to move away from navbars and just do gesture-based navigation. I hate that.

Android, please let me keep my navbar!

It should be enough to add system bars insets. See: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/layout/edge-to-edge?hl=en#system-bars-insets
