Updating from 5.5 RC to 5.5 General Release makes the plugins and themes autoupdates UI disappear

I haven't caught this yesterday during the release party testing, but on a number of websites I checked - both 5.5 stable and 5.6-alpha, the UI for the auto-updates disappears.

Adding

// Enable all plugin auto-updates.
add_filter( 'auto_update_plugin', '__return_true' );
 
// Enable all theme auto-updates.
add_filter( 'auto_update_theme', '__return_true' );

As per instructions in the ​related dev-note works, but it shouldn't be needed since the majority of end-users should not need to work modify wp-config.php
