Isn't that syntax reserved for remotes?
for example:

git push origin

I feel like it would be a bad idea to have these 2 types of invocations
overlap in syntax like that.

The idea is that given "git push <branch>" if <branch> is NOT a remote but
IS a branch name then git could unambiguously provide the correct remote.

Naturally if there's a branch and a remote of the same name then for backwards
compatibility the remote would be chosen.
