The short answer is "because it's always worked that way". You
might find the last half of section 37.4.8 illuminating:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/xfunc-sql.html#XFUNC-SQL-FUNCTIONS-RETURNING-SET
but if you're on a pre-v10 release, pay close attention to what it says
about the difference between v10 and pre-v10 behavior.

Your second example has approximately nothing to do with your first.
It has only one SRF in the SELECT list, so there's not much doubt
about what ought to happen.
