Why do Rich Text Blocks use an array to display items when there is only one child?

I have a question. Why are items displayed as an array in Strapi rich text blocks when the data will always be a single item anyway? I’m worried I might be missing something here.

Most of the JSON-based content WYSIWYG editors use that structure to save the data.

thank you for the answer!
so, the children always be an array even if the length of the array is always one, right? and is this expected?

exactly, that’s it, and it is better to be like that, so you can make a generic parser.
