Hmm, I don't see a -e option to 'more' I do see one for 'less'. I'm
guessing 'more' is symlinked to 'less'.

From here:

https://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/faq.html#dashe

"Normally, less doesn't quit until you type "q". You can make it quit as
soon as it reaches the end of the file by using the -E option. However,
many (but not all) people prefer to have less remain active until they
explicitly quit, because they might wish to back up and look at earlier
parts of the file again. "

I'm betting that between Fedora 35 and 36 the project changed the
configuration of `less` to follow the normal pattern.
