Yes it is perfectly normal. It was part of the rear diff recall so that if the rear diff bowl snapped the vehicle wouldnt roll away.

I leased an XLT in'20, and it didn't have that, is it only in ST models?

It is on the newer models where Ford removed a bolt from the rear differential. My 2020 ST does not do it as the recall did not apply to it.

It would only apply to 3.0L Explorers with the 1 bolt and those produced after the recall. The 1 bolt is strong enough for the 2.3L and 3.3L Hybrid so they recall wouldn't apply to them.
