Neither I think, it's a side effect of good design and following
conventions.
I pushed the docchange to master as 15f4cdd873.

Yeah, I'd go with Dmitry's suggestion in
https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/8#issuecomment-399698728
where he demonstrates that you can customize this by using:
(custom-set-variables
'(help-at-pt-timer-delay 0.1)
'(help-at-pt-display-when-idle '(flymake-diagnostic)))
Though, in my testing, this always defers to eldoc (which is probably
the intended behavior).
