These entries document the absence of a bug. If inverted, they describe
a feature which was supported, but has long been removed. Such entries
are irrelevant per this guidline:
https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data/blob/main/docs/data-guidelines/index.md#removal-of-irrelevant-features

Another way to look at this is that the standard behavior works before
and after this bug was fixed, and the non-standard beahvior is
additional API surface which no longer exists.

I think this was important at the time when the behavior changed. Old code had to adapt to the requirement to always provide new. Seems like Firefox 44 was the last browser to implement this on 2016-01-26. I think users have adapted given their code would fail in all browsers fore more than 8 years otherwise.
