I was thinking from the user point of view. In my mental model (which maybe
doesn't reflect how Emacs really works, but nonetheless) I think of windows
as being stacked, and when I do C-x 0 to me is like saying send the top
window to the bottom of the stack. In this context, it would make sense
for C-x 0 to switch to a different buffer when there is only one window in
the frame.

Ok, I will try to think harder before I make another suggestion. Sorry for
wasting your time!
