Comment (by robe):

 Okay it appears this function is not utilizing GEOS at all and as @dbaston
 brought to my attention probably changed in
 https://github.com/postgis/postgis/commit/55e902122cc7f057a77f5bb48726510843889d4b
 to be simplified.  This is pretty annoying to me.

 I have to check previous versions to confirm the old did return the
 documented answer.

 Making this just be == check is kinda pointless since  the = sign now does
 that for us (before that used to be bounding box).  Though I don't know if
 it makes sense to change the behavior back in a micro.  Probably will need
 to wait for PostGIS 3.6.
