As a MariaDB user I agree, but did you consider using a special geometry value instead of NULL? For example, a POINT(0,0). Of course this can be done if you'll never need a "real" point at 0, 0.
Why not use otherwise-out-of-bounds instead? For geocoordinates measured in degrees, one could use POINT(-720,-720).
