isn’t the expected behaviour exactly identical on any object that has len defined:
“By default, an object is considered true unless its class defines either a bool() method that returns False or a len() method that returns zero, when called with the object.”
ps: well your objection is I guess that we cant know in advance if that said object has len defined such as being a collection so this question does not really apply to your post I guess.
It’s not the same, and you kinda answered your own question with that quote. Consider what happens when an object defines both dunder bool and dunder len. It’s possible for dunder len to return 0 while dunder bool returns True, in which case the falsy-ness of the instance would not depend at all on the value of len
