While I wouldn't say it's obvious, I believe it is (indirectly?)
documented and deliberate.
Search for this in the docs:
"""
expand_tabs
(default: True) If true, then all tab characters in text will be
expanded to spaces using the expandtabs() method of text.
"""
(This is not to say a specific rewording of the docs to lessen any
confusion in this area wouldn't be welcomed.)
