Laravel data_get helper has different behavior for array and object - development

Laravel data_get helper has different behavior for array and object

$array = ['key' => null];

echo data_get($array, 'key', 'default') // Result was default
$array = (object) $array;
echo data_get($array, 'key', 'default') // Result was null 

Is there any specific reason it was done like this or arrays and objects?
