I know a lot of things have changed since I learned to fly in the late
70's
but I have a hard time believing that "this" change has been made. Si,
even
when I was active flying, it was perfectly legal for me as a private pilot
to take you, as a non-rated individual, up and show you how to fly the
airplane. We could conceivably do this until you were completely
comfortable with take-off's, landings, turns, climbs, descents, and good
old, "straight and level." It would all be perfectly legal but the
non-rated person "would NOT" be able to log that time toward their ticket.
If you're right and in this day and time, they can?? !! :-O I'm glad I'm
not flying any more.

Could be that it's not changed.
Lasors states that a PPL can instruct, but elsewhere states that a CFI is
required in order to instruct towards the granting of a licence. So, it
could be that the hours can be logged (or not), but the 25(?) hours of dual
instruction required for the licence must be with a CFI. So presumably that
would allow a student to practice with a non-CFI between lessons, but still
doesn't answer whether the non-CFI hours can be logged.
