Big chunk of old android phones (pre 2016) came unencrypted by default. They could be encrypted if the user wished/knew how.
I remember having a motorola (moto g4 I think) that after flashing twrp it didn’t ever asked for my pin. It was officially supported by LineageOS for a long time too. Still, damn fine phone lol

“Relatively new” is 8 years ago to you? If you have to make sure your phone is encrypted then it’s either currently running or shipped with android 5.1.1 or lower (per your link) so yeah I don’t think this is a real concern and I do not understand why people (apparently knowingly in your case) spread misinformation about BL unlocking.
