It is not.
Requesting a payment method in no way means you will need to pay for anything. If the app is free, it will be free.
The App Store has always required a payment method be added to your account this is not new, specially if there has been an issue with a previous purchase or subscription and now there is a pending charge on your account.
If neither of these to is the case, then adding a payment method will not result in any type of charge and can be removed once its been verified.
If there is an issue with a previous purchase or charge then it will be charged.
Regardless, once a payment method is requested it must be added to make use of the store services including downloading free apps. As mentioned it can, once verified, be removed and should not ask for it again.

Hello~ If you are being asked for a payment method you must add one…
Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support
If Apps have subscriptions and/or in app purchases you will need a payment method. You will not be charged for a “free” app.
