--- Comment #1 from Dylan Johnston <dp.johnst at gmail.com> ---
Apologies in advance if there is missing information here, as I am new
to OpenSSH. I'll do my best to provide as much information as possible.

Previously setting DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS would result in the
SSH_ASKPASS program to launch when shelling to SSH.

As of 8.4p1, this is no longer the case. SSH will instead fail to
launch the program defined by SSH_ASKPASS.

When I set `SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE` to `force`, it behaves as it did prior
to 8.4p1 (launches the SSH_ASKPASS program).
