Hmm, I see what you mean.

Basically my intuition is: it's a bit weird to make the attribute's existence "sort of" depend on whether it's a client or server context. It would make sense to me to have it entirely disappear on client contexts (from __dir__, read-access, and write-access), and it would make sense to me to have it always be present, just a no-op. But having it present, and almost the same as on server contexts, except that assigning to it fails... that feels a little weird.
