Description
This was suggested by @randolf-scholz in https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/28257#issuecomment-2646551727. It might accidentally cause breaking changes for mypy users (see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/28257#issuecomment-2646563705). So it's best to implement this in numpy-stubs instead (which we plan to merge into numpy at some point).

Research direction
Start by locating the numpy-stubs definitions for the datetime64 and timedelta64 type parameters, then review the linked NumPy issue discussion for the intended typing behavior and compatibility concern. Done means the defaults are changed to Any in the stubs without introducing the proposed breaking change for mypy users.
