FreeBSD's ping Integrates IPv6

Hi all.

I just noticed (although it appears to have come in version 13.0) that FreeBSD's "ping" app now defaults to IPv6, i.e., no need for ping6:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ping&sektion=8&format=html

Does anyone know whether other *nix systems are doing this now?

My Mac (Catalina) still requires ping6, and I don't have any recent Linux systems handy.
