bug#57837: 29.0.50; fit-window-to-buffer should reposition the buffer

(advice-add 'fit-window-to-buffer :after
            (lambda () (and (= (count-lines (point-min) (point-max)) (1- 
(window-height)))
                            (or (< (point) (point-max)) (forward-line -1) t)
                            (set-window-start nil (point-min)))))

Why shouldn't this be the default behavior?

I think because fit-window-to-buffer isn't supposed to move point, and point would become invisible if it is not moved.

Is that a problem? I mean, is it possible for the point to be invisible?


No, Emacs does its best to ensure that point is always visible. That's the reason of the scrolling you see: without scrolling (which hides the first half of the buffer) point would be invisible.
