It's also not true:

  > if 0 then print "true" end
  true
  > 0 == true
 => false

I know why this is the case. But it's a logical inconsistency for users of the language.

Stop trolling please. You are advocating for `==` doing type coercion of arguments and that is almost always a misfeature in any language that has that (and the fix usually involves adding an ugly `===` operator after the fact)
