Seems wild that the crop maintains the original data. There are very few reasons to want that functionality.

In this case, it's because instead of "overwrite this file with this smaller file" they essentially (accidentally) did "overwrite the first n bytes of this file with the smaller file, but then leave the rest".

But this isn't even the first example of cropping not doing what it's supposed to throughout. Photoshop used to have its EXIF thumbnail not automatically update when you cropped things, so sitting the data of your photo was a smaller thumbnail of your full photo. This led to some Tech TV host posting a suggestive photo of herself that was a cropped nude, but had the full nude thumbnail in the EXIF data.
