Consistency! That is exactly the issue,
especially for those who wish to teach with numpy.

I do not want to tell my students to write
ones([5,5])
but
rand(5,5)
and although relatively new to Python
I actually like the practice of providing
dimensions in a list or tuple.

But I care less about the choice of convention
than about adherence to the convention.
