Hi, Pierre You may have overlooked the existence of the magic method `__unserialize()`. Constructor is not the only way to create instances.
When rebuilding a serialized object, you may need the initial values of properties. This can easily happen if you are using rolling updates and using Redis. The constructor is not called if `__unserialize()` is called. In this case, defining the initial value of a property as an argument to a constructor that is never called confuses us. Regards.
