As far as I'm aware, it's an expected behavior.

What would you expect instead of `NULL`? 🤔

This is also en expected and
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/models/fields/#blank
documented] behavior, see also #6189.
> I imagine this needs a bit of UX thought as it should be possible to do
either: set the column to null or set the column to a range with null as
both bounds.
Do you have any non-misleading UX proposition? This seems tricky. There is
also some overlap with #29656. Maybe we should continue the discussion
there.
