Description

**mapbox-gl-js version**: 2.9.0

### Question

`case` fallback value works well for `==` condition, but not `>=` if property is not set:

https://observablehq.com/@mourner/mapbox-gl-expression-playground

`null` instead of `#fallback`:

but it works for `==`:

Can't find where this behaviour is documented: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/expressions/

Am I missing something?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported case-expression behavior in the linked Observable expression playground, comparing an unset property with the >= and == conditions. Read the style-spec expressions documentation and trace the relevant expression implementation; done means the documented or corrected behavior is covered by a regression test and no longer returns null unexpectedly.
