Comment(by davidloeffler):

 I don't like the inconsistency. After all, matrices have base rings too,
 and your argument applies identically to the matrices rather than the
 endomorphism objects.

 If you don't like the way it's currently implemented for matrices, you can
 start a debate on sage-devel if you want. It's perfectly possible that it
 could be changed, with an optional argument called something like
 "base_extend" to give users the option to choose whichever behaviour they
 want. But I absolutely insist that the behaviour should be the same for
 matrices and for morphisms of vector spaces represented by matrices.
