nrfutil version 7.4.1 always uses pc_nrfutil_legacy_v6.1.7.exe ???

I have installed the 'latest' version of nrfutil for Windows 10 and am observing some strange/unexpected message feedback.
Can somebody help me understand why the tool thinks that I am option for the legacy mode?

I run the command 'nrfutil keys generate' the only message I get back is

Usage: pc_nrfutil_legacy_v6.1.7.exe keys generate [OPTIONS] KEY_FILE
Try 'pc_nrfutil_legacy_v6.1.7.exe keys generate --help' for help.

Error: Missing argument 'KEY_FILE'.

If I pass it a valid name for the generated key file 'nrfutil keys generate public.pem' the message I get back is:

Generated private key and stored it in: lampcheck.pem

and there is no indication of the kind of encryption (legacy or newer) being used in the generation process.
