Negative number formatting for en-US differs Xamarin to MAUI

[balld]

This regards the formatting of negative numbers using the CultureInfo.

This is not necessarily a problem, but I have a difference in behaviour while migrating an app from Xamarin to MAUI I would like to understand better. So far my searches has not found an explanation, so apologies in advance if the info is out there and I missed it.

For this test I'm using the same Android emulator (Pixel 5 API 34) with system language set to en-US

Here is a simplified code snippet to illustrate the question:

decimal value = -12.34M;
string s = value.ToString("C", CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);

In Xamarin Forms 5 (and earlier versions we used) the result in s is ($12.34)
In .NET MAUI 8 it is -$12.34

Was this a conscious decision that the latter formatting is preferable for English language app users in the US? I'm not a US resident so not familiar with what a typical US phone user would expect.
