Just finished syncing the whole blockchain after days and I realize the bitcoin settings were "pruning", which means I cannot use it as a wallet.
is it the normal behavior of bitcoin core v0.19.0.1 to automatically prune the blockchain ?

No, the default behavior of bitcoin core v0.19.0.1 is still the non pruning mod.
You should check your bitcoin.conf file depending on your operating system there is a line about pruning which should be something likeprune=550
in your case, just put a # to deactivate it again like #prune=550
