Array.push return pushed value?

Question

Are there any substantial reasons why modifying Array.push() to return the object pushed rather than the length of the new array might be a bad idea?

By the coming of ES6, it is recommended to extend array class in the proper way , then , override push method :

class XArray extends Array {
   
   push() {
     super.push(...arguments);
     return (arguments.length === 1) ? arguments[0] : arguments;
   }
 
}
//---- Application
let list  = [1, 3, 7,5];

list = new XArray(...list);

console.log(
  'Push one item : ',list.push(4)
);

console.log(
  'Push multi-items :', list.push(-9, 2)
);

console.log(
   'Check length :' , list.length
)
