I think it was mostly a mis-use - partly because it could also flush() the stream and there wasn't sufficient thought given when converting from finalize() for this case a long time ago.
However as discussed in another PR, even for output, if you haven't flushed the stream a lot earlier than this you are too late now.
And for input I can't see any issue
