Description
This is hard to explain. I have the medium size set to 640px wide.
If i upload an image that is exactly 640px wide. It creates an unnecessary copy of it that matches the original image in every sense.
The problem is that when i upload an image that's exactly 640px wide it makes a copy like so:
image.png (is 640x640 px)
image-640x640.png (is ALSO 640x640 px, so why create it?)
The medium (640px) size should only be created if the original image is Wider than that, not equal.
I hope i explained it well enough. Let me know if it needs clarification.

I believe this is to keep the original image intact and not rename it. Whatever sizes are defined, WordPress creates a thumbnail for each although the widths of the actual image and the thumbnail size are the same.
So, in my opinion, it is a good practice to have each sizes separate from the original image rather than skipping creating a specific size or renaming the original file.
Also, it sounds more logical to label it as an
Enhancement
rather than aDefect
since it is not creating any roadblock in WordPress functionality.
