What is the rationale for considering all instances true of a user-

It's a stupid idea,
Nope, it's a very sensible default (given you can redefine the
'nothingness' value of your types instances), specially when the
language doesn't have a proper boolean type (which was the case for
Python until 2.2 or 2.3, can't remember exactly).
Man, you've given a serious answer to a sarcastic reply to an OP who has
been -- for years -- second in trolliness only to Xah Lee.
Either that, or I have to replace my humor detector.
