I don't pretend otherwise, at all. What you say does not conflict
with my point, AFAIU.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the need for C-u to do something (exit
Isearch) prematurely. As I said, I would be much better to wait for
the "real" command before deciding what to do. That makes a lot more
sense to me. YMMV.
