    I also have been getting this problem. Never had this before. When did SP start doing this? It has to be fairly new phenomena. Dec 9, 2019 at 17:24

I can reproduce your issue in my SharePoint Online.

It seems the default behavior in modern list view now, there is a blank option in the choice column even we set the default value.

You can also check the thread:Spurious blank entry at top of a choice column entry

Try setting Default value of this column to open instead of None from column settings (shown in 2nd image).

Update:

Following below steps are working for me. Try below steps and check if it works for you:

  1. Go to List Settings.
  2. Navigate to Columns section and choose your choice column.
  3. At the end of the page, Set Default value of this column to open.
  4. Save.
