Yes, this is a consequence of having to currently write the argument
parsing code for builtins by hand (and a lot of those implementations
predating the evolution of more modern conventions). It's likely to
change in the future, as Argument Clinic makes such things easier to
maintain and make consistent.
Cheers,
Nick.
