The distinction is made purely based on the existing behavior (which I believe is just an overlook in the first place). My preference is to null check in the setter methods, as there is no reason to set them null. That is just a misuse of the setters.

OK, if we are fine with the behavioral change, I will change the direction of this PR to instead be an update to the setters to ensure NPEs for the offending methods. Will file a CSR.
