Answer

It is by design. "restrict-chmod-acl" is a new feature that is introduced in ONTAP 9.8. It is applicable to all versions of NFS.
"restrict-chmod-acl" option specifies whether to restrict operations related to modifying modebits and ACLs by non-superusers on a file or directory having ACLs on it.
