Comment (by siliconforks):

 As an example, there are hundreds of plugins in the plugin directory that
 check whether `empty( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] )` is true.

 I'm not sure exactly what all of these plugins are doing, but they could
 potentially behave differently when running under WP-CLI if the default
 value were changed to `'/'`.
