I have definitely seen the dealer enforce the “show one, show all” rule. I tried googling around after your last comment, but wasn’t able to find any reference to a player’s right to see a mucked hand. Instead, I found a lot of articles about whether it is better play to show or muck losing hands, which implies it is the person’s choice.

Do you have any reference for the rule that a folded hand has to be shown on demand if play is over?

Didn't see this until today, sorry.

See here for the Texas Holdem rules that WSOP uses: https://www.wsop.com/poker-games/texas-holdem/rules/

Search for "muck" to find the relevant entry, also below for convenience:

Any player who has been a legal part of the game can ask to see a called hand, even if the cards have already been mucked. Abuse of this privilege can result in denial by the dealer. When a winning player asks to see a mucked hand, that hand will be considered live, and the winning player can lose their pot. When any other players ask to see a folded hand, the hand will remain dead.
