DropDownList.SelectedIndex implementation

Here is the implementation of DropDownList.SelectedIndex:

public override int get_SelectedIndex()
{
      int num1 = base.SelectedIndex;
      if ((num1 < 0) && (this.Items.Count >
0))
      {
            this.Items[0].Selected = true;
            num1 = 0;
      }
      return num1;
}

From this you can see that if the Items collection is not
empty there is no
way to clear the selection in DropDownList. Why would
Microsoft implement it
this way?
