Isn't it more like that computing these flags is basically free in hardware? So might as well add support for it.

  Sure, but designing those flags into the hardware has to come at a cost. Maybe it's simple and cheap enough that it doesn't matter.

    Could it have been a test case "to see if we can" do these kinds of things. And then it got left in with the more important stuff
