My question would be: Did they have a positive use case for this behavior,
or were they just reflecting NumPy's behavior?

AFAICR, the main reasoning on our side was that there was an unambiguous
value that we _could_ return, so we might as well. And in our later
experience, it was more trouble than it was worth.
