Indeed. It comes down to how software read files. ASCII characters are just binary values stored in a file. Files do not have lines. A line end is a specific control character. When reading a line from a file one will look for the next occurrence of a line end character. Hence the last line should end in one.
Technically there is no such thing as a line end. We know the line feed character and to make things more complicated it can be preceded by a carriage return character.
