Well, the thing is this particular option used to be not an experiment but an actual setting already.
It was an experiment, there used to be a flag to enable 'delay loading of background tabs' option in settings. When the feature was considered stable enough, they removed the flag.
You must be talking about #lazy-session-loading-default-enabled which wasn't added until version 41 when #extended-lazy-session-loading was also changed to enabled by default (was disabled in versions before), the "Delay loading..." setting however was added way before this in version 23 (implementing the #lazy-session-loading experiment in versions before) whose normal behaviour (ie: #extended-lazy-session-loading disabled) was to only load tabs when they were made active. So this desired option to only load active tabs was an actual setting through versions 23 to 45 and was the default behaviour up until 41 where the extended experiment was enabled by default, they then removed this option in version 46 when they implemented the extended experiment replacing it as the normal (and only) behaviour for delay loading.
The removal of the option makes zero sense, it would have been so damn simple to add an extra option to enable/disable the extended delayed loading but instead they dumb it down.

Is there no way to have all non-selected tabs never load unless selected?
Not in since version since 46, you would have to go back to version 45 to get the option back and nuking the auto-update file to stay there (stupid there's no built-in option to disable auto-updating that any decent software should have but that's another issue for another time).

Or you can switch off the network before open Opera, then it will load as the flag enabled behaviour, - tedious but effective -.

Hate this "super improvements". For whom do you make them? What's the sense of removing this useful option. It ruins all the process of browsing. Why or why. Why to low the user experience to the level of housewives? Is it really your audience now? I could accept it if it was new feature request but ruining the thing which had been working perfectly for decades of version. Just insanity.

@sunsey because devs of old opera leaved the project?
I still want to see that flag bringed back. Since old times I have a habit to keep many tabs opened in Opera, up to 400 (usually 40-50), and thus not loading all tabs is vital. If I need, I will click on tab and it will load on demand. But it is gone, and for now I forced to install third-party extensions for functions that usually was integral part of Opera.I still considering whether or not I will stay because 2000+ bookmarks and passwords is hard to transfer outside, especially with poor bookmarks editor.

No idea about the passwords, but transferring bookmarks is easy. Just export as HTML, then import into another browser. Opera now has the ability to save bookmarks built in.
