I've asked about this on the developer's mailing list.
This was the reply:
It is intentional. It is a result of fixing number overcrowding that
led to uneven numbering that looked terrible.
We COULD be less minimalist and have more ticks. However, with the
existing rather baroque ruler marking code that is harder to achieve
than you'd think. It would be better to rip out the old code and write
new code that treats the tick marks and the numbers independently and
has a global (full ruler) perspective rather than local perspective on
what to draw
However, I do see your point, and in my opinion the ruler has become a bit too "minimalist", so I shall log it on the Audacity bug tracker, and hopefully we will get a nice new ruler in the future that is a good compromise.
As we are so close to the scheduled release date, it is unlikely that the current design will be changed in Audacity 2.3.0. Hopefully you will find all the good new stuff and fixes outweigh this particular change.

Thank you! It would be nice, for example, through some menu item, to give the user a choice, leave as in the new edition or save the division, as in audacity 2.2.2 (and all previous versions).

I raised the priority of this bug this morning to P2:
https://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1970
Our Release Manager (and developer) James Crook - has just fixed this - and I just QA tested it.
You'll be glad to know the tick marks are back in the Timeline for 2.3.0
Peter.
