### My Question
Hello,
I noticed that the `+=` operator overload for the `TriangleMesh` class does not append UV coordinates in the case of a mesh that has UVs but no texture attached to it. I guess this is determined by this boolean [here](https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D/blob/fbf549b23c079ae255d1b8a20db33fd35f942585/cpp/open3d/geometry/TriangleMesh.cpp#L74-L76). I think it would be more intuitive if UVs were also copied over when appending meshes together, regardless of if they have a texture attached or not.
Is there any particular reason for the current behavior ? If not I could make a small PR to modify this.
thanks in advance and thanks for the great lib 👍
