I'd say that to the extent that is true, it was equally true for radio buttons in the 90s.
These days I find myself scrolling around pages to look for submit/save/apply buttons to determine whether checkboxes and radio buttons are intended to have immediate effects or have to be submitted to be applied, because there really seems to be a lack of consensus on what these elements mean in those terms.
