I also could not find it on Power BI Desktop not for version.According to the responses in other threads, that option was modified in 2018. Refer:https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/What-Happened-To-quot-Allow-unrestricted-measures-in-Direct...
In addition, this feature is not used to break the 1-million-row limit in Direct Query, but rather the one-million-row limit for returning data when using DirectQuery still exists for the limitations are placed on DAX expressions allowed in measures, as you can see here:
