Comment (by siliconforks):

 It's funny you mention 15 years, since this was initially done almost
 exactly 15 years ago: [13812]

 According to the commit message, the intention was to eliminate the need
 for `isset()` checks.

 It could be argued that it is better to simply use `isset()` checks, but
 it has been like this for so long now that changing it would likely cause
 issues for existing plugins.
