Does LabelEncoder make sense on categorical variables on the transactions dataset?

I took a look at how you encode categorical variables in the transactions dataset, such as 'MCC', 'Marchant Name', etc. and it seems that for all of them, you use LabelEncoder. This creates a false order and I was wondering if it affects learning and performance? Shouldn't you use a one-hot encoding?
