The ">" attached to he right of "|" signals that you can press "Tab" to get an autocomplete popup. This can be partly controlled by the preferences in Editing > Input Completion, although I just checked and the "Cursor indicator" is checked and greyed out for me for some reason.

The behavior that changed with respect to previous LyX versions is that the ">" is now much larger on some screens (including mine). Before, it was miniscule and you could only notice it if you were looking for it. You can read more about this issue here:

After the above, what are your updated thoughts? Do you find the ">" annoying? Do any of the preferences do what you want (e.g., disable it)?
