Once again, this is not about assigned values. This is about the time before you get a value assigned. Not every experiment out there will have a value assigned before it starts development.

Not according to POSIX. If some OSes deliberately violate POSIX that's their problem. All POSIX OSes will have up to today return a new file descriptor without the close-on-exec flag set at all times. Just read the spec.
