How do you run queries which affect more than one row in this mode? Because

defensively in the cases where exactly one row should be affected.

If we would have ORDER BY also for UPDATE/DELETE then one could just
order by something arbitrary to express multiple or zero rows are OK,
even if not being interested in the order.

Ugh. That can't possibly end well. Overriding the meaning of something that already works as standalone SQL statement sounds like a really bad idea.
