ncurses(3X) explains.

   Padding Differences
     In historical curses implementations, delays embedded in the term‐
     info capabilities carriage_return (cr), scroll_forward (ind),
     cursor_left (cub1), form_feed (ff), and tab (ht) activated
     corresponding delay bits in the Unix terminal driver.  ncurses
     performs all padding by sending NUL bytes to the device.  This
     method is slightly more expensive, but narrows the interface to the
     Unix kernel significantly and correspondingly increases the
     package’s portability.
