Description

What kind of feature would you like to request?

Additional function parameters / changed functionality / changed defaults?

Please describe your wishes

I think it would be good also in light of pp.scrublet to have the option that log1p returns the matrix and not a copyed anndata. This would save memory.

Research direction

Start at the log1p entry point and compare its current return behavior with the pp.scrublet use case mentioned in the issue. Clarify the intended option and its interaction with existing callers, then verify that the chosen behavior returns a matrix rather than a copied AnnData object while preserving expected functionality and reducing memory use.
