@jviotti also pointed out the metaschemas diverge on this change.

> Actually it's a bit more subtle. While the spec indeed says SHOULD in some cases, the meta-schemas often still enforce this:
> • Draft 4: https://json-schema.org/draft-04/schema#. It has minItems: 1
> • Draft 6: https://json-schema.org/draft-06/schema#. It has minItems: 1
> • Draft 7: https://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#. It has minItems: 1
> • 2019-09: https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/meta/validation. Allows any number of items
> • 2020-12: https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/meta/validation. Allows any number of items
