Yes there is a reason behind that.
The policy is if set() is false that accessing value() would throw an exception.
Blank text is still a valid text the empty string is still a text - i.e. you take value() and it is valid, on the other hand if there is no number or there is no uploaded file, than there is no reasonable value() and than you must check the set() properly.

This make sense to me:
cppcms::widgets::numeric::set() returns false if
users leave it bank.
However, cppcms::widgets::text::set() always returns true
regardless of
users leaving it blank or entering characters in that
widget. Is there
any special reason why cppcms::widgets::text::set() behave
so? Why is
cppcms::widgets::text::set() not designed to return false
instead if
users leave it blank?
