Why is an error returned (exit code 1) just because no strict files were found?

Title pretty much sums it up. Was just wondering why an error would be returned in the event that no files match the strict criteria. This may be desired behavior; for instance, I intentionally set the "paths" array such that no files would be checked. In this case I'd expect the build script to continue successfully when using "npm run build tsc-strict && other-script"; instead it fails.
