Warning is triggered by reading non-existing key, not assigning value to it. In `$foo[$key1][$key2] ??= 0` you never try to read non-existing key. > Please can you show me a bug that adding this line has avoided?

Well, then let's say that it is "lesser evil" - one additional line is better than ignoring reading uninitialized values. And IMO it is not a "problem" that would justify introducing special syntax for saving one line in such niche case.
