See the warning at https://pygmt-ln1ssu8ap-gmt.vercel.app/gallery/plot/scatter.html#sphx-glr-gallery-plot-scatter-py:

plot [WARNING]: Length <unit> s not supported - revert to default unit [cm]
plot [WARNING]: Length <unit> t not supported - revert to default unit [cm]

0.25c means 0.25 cm, so we shouldn't use style as the unit. If we'd like to change the size for each symbol in the legend, it'd better to also add it in the for loop. But I feel 0.25c is okay for those three symbols.

Suggested change
label=f"{color}+S0.25{style}",
label=f"{color}+S0.25c",

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry, I didn't know that, I thought it was the symbol to show, not the size in cm. Appreciated.

Perhaps 50 gives a better result.

Yes, please try 50, i.e. less transparency (more opaque). See also #1013 (comment).
