its the same in the admin. See below
the reasoning behind this was that people were setting the featured start/end times without also marking it as featured and so it didnt work

I always thought that ‘start featured’ automatically enabled the “featured” toggle. I now learn that the toggle must always be ‘on’ and the start and end dates only determine when to actually turn it on or off. Good to know, thank you.

it didnt and it confused people thats why we made the fields invisible until you enable featured

I am assuming you are talking about front end editing.
Those fields are only displayed when you enable featured first.
