Python custom empty scale overwrite to 1,1,1

Question

Python custom empty scale overwrite to 1,1,1 for primitives it work fine but for empty for some reason it`s overwrites to default 1 any idea why ?

import bpy
size=(3,3,3)
bpy.ops.object.empty_add(type='PLAIN_AXES', align='WORLD', location=(0, 0, 0), scale=size)

Also FYI you can add an empty without ops this way https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/51291/86891 — Gorgious, Nov 22 '21 at 11:04
What's also interesting is the docs say the default scale value is (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) while it would make more sense to be (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)... — Markus von Broady, Nov 22 '21 at 11:54

I think it is a bug.

What works:

bpy.ops.object.empty_add(type='PLAIN_AXES', align='WORLD', location=(1, 0, 0), scale=(2,2,2))
bpy.context.object.scale = (2,2,2)
