I understand that this is desired behavior when the subclass contains non-default attributes. But subclasses that define no additional attributes should work just the same as those that define only additional default attributes.
A similar issue was raised and dismissed when dataclasses was in development on GitHub: https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses/issues/112, but that only concerned the case of subclasses defining non-default attributes.
